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).
I believe right now, all private companies are just doing their own mandates. The federal mandates have not kicked in yet.
>they will get fined 14K per day per employee
There’s not even a proposed rule, much less a final rule that’s survived 20+ state AGs suing. In fact, there’s been complete radio silence other than an audible sigh as the pivot turns to which companies mandate what and which employees do what instead of the slaughterhouse formerly known as Afghanistan.
The Federal Worker unions (particularly AFGE) has not given up an inch of ground.
They are going to negotiate the proposed change in working conditions in minute detail—think hundreds of lawyers grinding it out for months.
(You do know that AFGE has thousands of lawyers as members, right?)
By the time AFGE is done with the mandates, there will be so many exclusions, exceptions, loopholes that no one person will even know all of them—and the mass media will never figure out what is happening....

Many of them will never get the jab.
Many more are eligible for retirement at any time, including most of the SMEs (subject matter experts) that do the detailed work that keeps the bureaucracy functioning.
