(LifeSiteNews) — United Airlines delivered an ultimatum to its employees holding or seeking religious or medical COVID-19 vaccine exemptions: Get vaccinated before October 2 or be placed on unpaid leave. Other employees who continue to decline the vaccination without being granted a medical or religious exemption will be fired.
“Fly the Friendly Skies of United” is perhaps the best-known airline slogan of all time, having been used by United Airlines (UAL) for more than 30 years, yet those once-friendly skies are dark and stormy for many within the corporation who cannot in good conscience or for medical reasons submit to the COVID-19 vaccine.
In a pair of three-page memos issued Wednesday by Kirk Limacher, United’s vice president of human resources, the airline announced that any worker granted a religious exemption will be placed on voluntary unpaid leave while those granted medical exemptions will be placed on medical leave.
The memo offers no end date for the unpaid leave.
Anyone not granted a medical or religious exemption who remains unvaccinated will be terminated.
