The Chip Franklin Show

with Alex Stone

United Airlines is firing 593 employees who refused to get vaccinated and do not have exemptions. The airline is also being sued by at least 7 employees for planning to put workers with religious exemptions on unpaid leave indefinitely saying they are being discriminated against.  

Southwest and American pilots are asking the White House to exempt them from vaccine mandates claiming, without evidence, that the vaccine could have career ending side effects for them.  They also say they are held to such a high physical standard that the vaccine should not be mandated for them.  4200 American Airlines pilots are still unvaccinated.  They threaten that holiday travel could be disrupted if they are forced to get vaccinated.
