Charlie Kirk has called for a boycott of Carhartt...Charlie Kirk is angry!

After the Supreme Court’s decision that large companies do not have to force workers to get coronavirus shots or tests, employees nationwide have wondered how the high court’s ruling on the vaccination mandate from the Labor Department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration would affect them.

FAQ: What to know about the omicron variant of the coronavirus
The issue bubbled up so much among employees at Carhartt, the Michigan-based workwear and other clothing company, that CEO Mark Valade emailed workers a day after the Supreme Court ruling to provide some clarity: Vaccination remained mandatory.

“We put workplace safety at the very top of our priority list and the Supreme Court’s recent ruling doesn’t impact that core value,” Valade wrote Friday, according to a copy of the email published to social media. “We, and the medical community, continue to believe vaccines are necessary to ensure a safe working environment for every associate and even perhaps their households.”

1. Freedom for Me!

Not for thee.

[pwb]

2. Ah shit

I don't know who Charlie is, he sounds like a dick.

[dchill]

4. He's the Turning Point USA dick.

[sop]

10. The co-founder of Turning Point USA, Bill Montgomery, died from Covid-19 in 2020.

Montgomery started TPUSA in 2012 with Charlie Kirk.

[dchill]

11. So... Co-dick?

[MLAA]

12. I'm going with That PUS Asshole (TPUSA)

😬

[sop]

13. Not any longer. The other dick died.

[Bettie]

5. He's a right wing talking head of some stripe

and he's a dick.

But, you probably guessed that.

I'm just happy to see a company saying "Nope, get vaccinated or leave."

[Zorro]

3. Carhartt leather belts are my favorite

They're the genuine article, not one of those belts that start cracking and peeling within a year.

[localroger]

20. Most "leather" belts are particles of ground leather in a cardboard-like matrix

I have a belt I made from a Tandy Leather rawhide belt blank. I didn't bother tooling it, just dyed it black and installed a buckle. It's still going strong after 30 years.

6. "How DARE a private company tell me what to do on their property"

Charlie sounds like another Karen

[The Magistrate]

7. I Do Enjoy It, Ma'am

When the invisible hand of the free market smacks one of these cretins upside his pointy little head.

[The Roux Comes First]

8. Go Carhartt! Dick-heads of the World Be Damned

"Unconstitutional Medical Tyranny"!!

You can't make this stuff up. It has to pass all the way through the digestive tract first, to emerge right where Kirk has apparently placed his wee noggin.

[brewens]

9. Carhartt would know these assholes are costing them more than their fair share of customers

with the anti-vax COVIDiot crap. Contractor types I know that love Carhartt are much more likely to be RWer's.

[gratuitous]

14. Whoa Charlie, slow your roll there buddy

Isn't "right-to-work" a cornerstone of contemporary conservativism? You know, to save the workers from the tyranny of a union, and that if you don't like your employment, just quit? Government regulation of business in any form is oppression of a kind not seen since the days of feudalism?

You're sounding like some kind of commie socialist yammering on like this!

[roody]

15. I've never bought Carrhart,

but I am about to.

[Bettie]

18. Based on my experience with husband and boys who

are really hard on their clothes, they are durable and they have a "Union Made in USA" line of clothing.

[11 Bravo]

16. This from the same whiny fuckwit who loves to mewl about "cancel culture".

[Stinky The Clown]

17. No kidding and no shit . . . . I have the Carhart website open in another browser window.

I am actively looking for a work jacket to wear on the tractor (it has a cab) and around the property. It would be my first Carhart.

To be honest, my work coats and jackets get beat up pretty quickly. In light of that, I have been buying Walls or Dickie for cheap at Walmart.

Maybe this is what I need to change, huh?

LOL

Fuck you, Charlie Kirk. Are you getting commissions for the business you drive to Carhart?

[questionseverything]

21. Carrharts will last longer

Thicker, tighter weave

The vest keeps the body warm while the arms are free to accomplish tasks

At least that’s what hubby says

[Bettie]

22. Mine too....and his brother

who is REALLY rough on clothes.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

26. Yep

I like the Carhartt gear I have. Looks like I'm going to have to buy a few more items.

[rsdsharp]

19. Don't tell him about Penzey's.

The had Republican are Racists weekend last weekend.

[NickB79]

23. "Despite the Supreme Court's ruling", LOL

His understanding of the USSC is as small as the face on his bulbous head.

Quick tip: the USSC ruling the Biden administration can't FORCE companies to mandate vaccines, doesn't mean companies can't require it themselves voluntarily. As private companies, they have every right to.

24. I've got about a dozen Carhartt t-shirts

a few pairs of pants. I used to wear them to work daily for 12 years and they still look and feel great. I especially like the thin sweat wicking shirts. Support smart businesses folks.

[Red Mountain]

25. Pants, shirts and shorts

I wear them all. I've never bought serious cold weather clothes because here in NC the need is fleeting......and my exterior shells get pretty disgusting pretty quickly. Better to layer.

27. I LOVE Carhartt scrubs! nt
