That put a smile on my face.
Good for them!
Never underestimate the impact of a good old take this jab and shove it!
That’s all it takes. Solidarity. Everyone say, he’ll no.
Given the direction I was seeing (and personally experiencing!) in the defense contractor industry in the 2005-2014 time-frame, I am surprise General Dynamics hadn’t jettisoned all of their experienced and older workers for a bunch of woke college graduates.
Is there a source for this story?
Apparently, the City of Hamilton (Ontario) transit system, requires manditory experimental vaccine injections. Of 800 employees, less than 200 agreed. They CANNOT operate their transit system with only 200 people! BRAVO!!
That’s huge. Big government contractor. If they say No, then others can say No.
Companies like Lockheed need government contracts. But it is equally true that the Government needs companies like Lockheed (and General Dynamics). The government will NOT stop doing business with them just because they refuse the mandate. That’s really cutting off your nose to spite your face. The companies have the power, if they want it. Which really means the workers have the power.
I’m super thrilled that General Dynamics did this.
Is this the Canadian parent company? Unfortunately, I don’t think anyone will be able to say no in the US; they will get fined 14K per day per employee, then what? Perhaps some will stand up and litigate, but I doubt it. And what for the federal workers whose unions have already sold them down the river on this? We are talking about all of the scientists, engineers and program managers who ensure our military maintains our edge in long range precision fires, applied artificial intelligence, autonomous decision making and information fusion, battle command, as well as the folks at the DIA, NSA, and others who are in fact very patriotic Americans working hard to stay ahead of our enemies. This is a grave risk to national security, much more serious and certain than COVID (or even than a real pandemic).
WINNING!
This is pretty significant, GD is big here in RI and CT. Good on them!
A polite way of saying, ‘hey, you commie management scum, you want to play hardball with your threatening mandates?’ ‘OK, let’s play, GAME ON!’
Yea!!!!👍👍👍👍
Right on!
Good for them,let’s hope it catches on
I can’t find confirmation of this but hope it’s true.
All I find is news from 2 days ago saying they were implementing mandate. I expect this decision- if true- will be less publicized.
Great! Now, stick to GD by quitting anyway.
General Dynamics adopts mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy Sept 14
COVID-19: Vaccine mandate to be implemented at London’s GDLS, internal memo says Sept 15
As John Lennon would say, “Power to the people, right on!”
When enough people stand up to tyranny the tyrants have no choice but to back down.
