T-Mobile US will fire corporate employees who aren’t fully vaccinated against Covid-19 by April 2, Bloomberg reported Saturday, in what would be one of the strictest Covid policies instituted by a large company in the country as others have moved to scrap vaccine requirements after the Supreme Court temporarily blocked the Biden Administration’s vaccine mandate for large employers.
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court temporarily halted the Biden Administration’s workplace Covid-19 vaccination requirements for large employers. General Electric and Starbucks are among large companies that have dropped vaccine mandates following the Supreme Court decision.
On the other hand, Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs and Citigroup told Forbes earlier this month they will stick with their vaccine requirements even after the Supreme Court ruling. Citigroup said it will fire employees who are not fully vaccinated against Covid-19 at the end of this month. Other large employers, including United Airlines and Tyson Foods, have also implemented vaccine mandates.
BIG NUMBER
56%. That’s the percentage of Americans who said employers should have vaccine mandates, according to a Morning Consult poll conducted after the Supreme Court ruling. Nearly 35% said they were against such requirements.
