Business group warns of mass layoffs and ‘catastrophic’ supply chain disruptions from Biden’s vaccine mandate
CNNNew York CNN Business — President Joe Biden’s vaccine order will force employers to lay off thousands of workers, making the supply-chain crisis much worse, a major business group warned the White House this week. “Agencies have the flexibility necessary to enforce the mandate without impacting critical operations.” Southwest Airlines CEO Gary Kelly also expressed confidence this week that the vaccine mandate will not disrupt travel. “Their interest in getting their employees vaccinated is greater than the government’s interest.” Still, the trade group said some employees across the distribution industry “for whatever reason” refuse to get vaccinated, risking the termination of “thousands” of employees just before the holidays. “Come December, many companies will be unable to keep products moving through their warehouses and distribution centers to satisfy growing consumer demand if forced to terminate these essential workers,” Hoplin wrote.
