“So get vaccinated. If you haven’t, you’re not nearly as smart as I said you were,” says Biden.Amidst reports that the White House may consider a vaccine passport for federal employees to prove their vaccination status, the American Postal Workers Union (APWU) said they are opposed to mandatory vaccination.Over 220,000 postal workers are members of this union, published an official statement stating that while they are fine with encouraging one another to get vaccinated, they are very much against the idea of mandating one and that it is not the role of the federal government to order such things.Various media outlets have reported that the White House is considering mandatory COVID-19 vaccination as a condition of employment for federal employees.Maintaining the health and safety of our members is of paramount importance. While the APWU leadership continues to encourage postal workers to voluntarily get vaccinated, it is not the role of the federal government to mandate vaccinations for the employees we represent.Issues related to vaccinations and testing for COVID-19 in the workplace must be negotiated with the APWU. At this time the APWU opposes the mandating of COVID-19 vaccinations in relation to U.S. postal workers.  Says the official statementTwo days ago President Biden was asked if the White House is considering mandating the vaccine for all federal workers. Biden said yes, and stated that those who are unvaccinated are “sowing enormous confusion.”We have a pandemic because of the unvaccinated, and they’re sowing enormous confusion. And there’s only one thing we know for sure, if those other 100 million people got vaccinated, we’d be in a very different world. So get vaccinated. If you haven’t, you’re not nearly as smart as I said you were.https://winepressnews.com/2021/07/29/postal-workers-union-rejects-mandatory-vaccination-at-this-time/
