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.
Here’s exactly what I was talking about with Biden’s EO. Federal contractors pulling out of bids and this doesn’t even include sub contractors.
Companies mull ending government contracts over vaccine mandate
Members of the aerospace, distribution, defense and trucking sectors are warning the Biden administration they will not be able to meet the vaccine deadline.
Objections among certain vendors over President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate for federal contractors are reaching an inflection point. As the deadline for workforce vaccination approaches, some trucking companies are mulling whether to end their work with the federal government altogether, according to two industry insiders.
But interviews with more than a dozen industry advocates across the aerospace, distribution, defense and trucking sectors — some of whom have also been in discussions with administration officials — reveal they either have little confidence they will be able to meet the Dec. 8 deadline for their workers to receive their first vaccine shot or expressed concerns about difficulties the mandate would pose on their labor force.
