After telling employees they could be granted religious exemptions to getting the COVID-19 vaccine, United Airlines has now announced those employees who were granted such exemptions will be placed on unpaid leave until “the pandemic meaningfully recedes.”
CNBC reported that the airline made the announcement to staff on Wednesday, “citing the recent rise in Covid cases.” This is a reversal from last month, when United told its 67,000 U.S. employees that they could receive religious and personal exemptions from the company’s vaccine mandate, as well as medical exemptions.
