I wonder if this has to do with the proposed "sick out" to protest the vaccine mandate?

1. I wonder. Those are very good jobs for people without college or technical training.

I don’t know how it is these days but when I was younger working for the ferry system was very desirable. I guess people nowadays are able to get good jobs, if it were me I wouldn’t jeopardize my job in support of conspiracy theories. Maybe it’s got nothing to do with the vaccine mandate.

3. I was being trained by a young woman said she didnt have vacc. Been trying to get covid last year,

as stupid as that is. Got hired last week at a county job and got her covid vacc yesterday to take the job.

2. Can't blame it on UI anymore. Done with that.

4. Sounds like more and more government jobs are requiring vaccination

I can’t imagine that stopping someone from accepting a job. Working for the government won’t make you rich but pretty good job security, usually some kind of retirement, and to me the most important, actually getting vacation and sick days.
