Kirby reportedly even went so far as to suggest that religiously exempt employees should have to wear a special symbol on their badges..
It has been revealed that United Airlines' Draq Queen CEO Scott Kirby allegedly mocked those seeking religious exemptions from the company's strict Covid-19 vaccine mandate, and proposed treating those who had been granted special accommodation differently than those who got the jab.
Kirby reportedly even went so far as to suggest that religiously exempt employees should have to wear a special symbol on their badges, however that idea was struck down by United's lawyers.
Kirby is well-known for his tendencies to dress up as a drag queen, as well as his huge push for racial and gender quotas in the airline industry.
...
Kirby "threatened employees to 'be very careful about' requesting such accommodations because 'very few' people would 'get through the medical and religious exemption process'."
...
Kirby warned that anyone who applied for an accommodation was 'putting [their] job on the line'."
...
Kirby proposed "requiring accommodated employees to walk around with special stickers on their badges broadcasting their vaccination status," but that, "unsurprisingly, United's lawyers shot down this idea," noting that it would "create conflict" among the workforce.
"Some HR employees were taken aback by Mr. Kirby's proposal," it continued, "stating that putting stickers on unvaccinated employees' badges is 'like the scarlet letter'."
In Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1850 novel by the same name, an alleged adulteress was forced to wear a scarlet "A" on her dress to let everyone know she had committed a sin worthy of shaming.
As Breitbart reports, one union president deemed Kirby's actions to be so "over the line" that it constituted a "purge of religious orthodoxy."
In total, 96 percent of employees complied with the mandates, and 2,300 received exemptions, however, the latter were put on unpaid leave.
Look at the top institutional ownership of the stock.
Nuff said.
Is this real? The CEO of United is a drag queen?
“Scarlet letter”. More like a yellow star patch.
Why can’t we have normal people in charge?
I think we used to, or they at least knew to keep it private.
It would have been used for blackmail in the past.
More mental illness on display.
That is one hell of a headline......and is quite the commentary on society in general.
Yep
I don’t even know what to say…
“ More like a yellow star patch.”
…exactly. It’s more then “shaming”. It’s targeting and would result in those employees to leave without benefits.
I live just outside Philly. I never, ever take public transportation.
It makes me want to move to the jungle in Costa Rica…
That’s what I was thinking. A big yellow star, how about.

My niece works for United, she says most of the rank and file hate his guts.
A yellow star was the 1st thing that came to my mind too
“ Kirby reportedly even went so far as to suggest that religiously exempt employees should have to wear a special symbol on their badges.”
Maybe some cute yellow stars.

Wasn’t DisUnited Airlines the company who declared a year or two ago that they were going to be hiring pilots on an affirmative action basis? (Showing that was more important to them than passenger safety.)
It may just be me. But I would not work there.
