I’m not saying they won’t eventually get fired just like the United employees who’ve been told they won’t be fired on December 8th, yeah they’ll wait until after the holidays when it’s slow.
For the contractors, not the mega ones but many smaller ones are finishing their current contracts then not bidding on any others which will fuck up a lot of shit. The paper work, bids etc will take forever. The mega ones have highly specialized workers they can’t afford to lose, they can get a new job within a week or two that doesn’t require a vax and that’s why his mandate is stupid and will keep changing.
Yup, the contractors will keep employee just long enough to do near term deliveries and then layoff employees afterward. Especially, now that they know who won't get the vax and who will. Anyone without the vax should recognize they have a target on their back and start planning an exit strategy. There will be a surge of new jobs and business in places like Texas and then all the other economic destruction will be blamed on covid and that will be blamed on the anti-vaxxers.
And I wasn’t saying they were firing their employees once the contract was over, they’re taking their business elsewhere. A lot of these companies don’t believe in mandates.
There’s a lot of contractors and subcontractors in the state of Oregon who will no longer work on any hospital or state property.
They don’t believe in the mandates and it’s screwing with hospital upkeep, maintenance and expansion. Things are falling apart and the people who they fired used to handle the paper work or manage the projects.
They were trying to make employees that were getting fired in less then a week find new contractors that were vaxxed and would be willing to replace the current ones that wouldn’t work on their premises any longer.
They wouldn’t do it, you had directors calling around trying to replace contractors for elevators, general repairs, exterminators etc etc and then begging the about to be fired employees to help them fill out stacks of paper work to allow them to bid on the newly opened positions.
The hospitals are going to look like something out of the Soviet Union in the next year or two.
We've crossed wires somewhere. The daily mail article also conflates that 100 employee osha mandate which doesn't exist with the federal contractor mandate which exists in the form of an executive order (). I'm talking specifically about the federal contractors. Those federal contractors can't escape the mandate by going to another state.
