American Airlines To Enforce Federal Vaccine Mandate For Employees

American Airlines said the federal vaccine mandate will apply to all its employees.

The airline will require all its workers to get a COVID-19 vaccine if they haven’t already.

Workers will not have the option to opt out for regular testing as some companies have done.

American said the reason is because it received clarification from the federal government that classified some units of the company as a government contractor.

The airline said that any staff members who choose to stay unvaccinated will lose their jobs.
