United Airlines will let unvaccinated employees return to their jobs this month

[madville]

United Airlines, citing a steep decline in Covid-19 cases, told staff Thursday that it will allow unvaccinated workers to return to their jobs starting March 28, a shift from the company that had one of the country’s strictest inoculation mandates.

Last August, United said it would require U.S. employees to be vaccinated against Covid or face termination. More than 96% of United’s roughly 67,000 U.S. workers were vaccinated, the company said.

United had said the roughly 2,200 workers who received exemptions on medical or religious grounds would go on unpaid leave or be moved to non-customer facing roles. For example, unvaccinated flight attendants couldn’t work their regular jobs. Roughly 200 employees were fired for not being vaccinated or having an accommodation.
