"Boeing is requiring its U.S.-based employees to either show proof of vaccination or have an approved reasonable accommodation by Dec. 8," the largest U.S. planemaker said. The Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace union said it was "talking with employers to ensure implementation gives proper consideration to members concerns, health issues and abides by the provisions of our negotiated contracts."
Just over 5,000 Boeing employees are in Texas, where Republican Governor Greg Abbott issued an executive order on Monday barring COVID-19 vaccine mandates by any entity, including private employers."Due to the Texas EO, the Boeing vaccination requirement announced today does not apply to local sites immediately. However, once these sites become covered under the Biden EO, we expect that they will subject to the vaccination requirement," a Boeing spokeswoman said.
Major U.S. airlines have said they will also meet the deadline imposed on federal contractors, including American Airlines
