“UPS has more than 540,000 employees around the world, mostly front-line workers, including unionized drivers and package handlers, who have not had the option to work from home during the pandemic. Those front-line employees don’t need to be vaccinated because those operating facilities “have been safely staffed in person since the beginning and throughout the pandemic,” according to UPS, although it is encouraging all workers to get shots.”

Looks like there are no mandates coining our way

New hires must have the vaccine

Today’s IPA hotline.

UPS informed the IPA today that it would begin requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination as a condition for new pilot hiring. Even though this rule is limited to new hires, the IPA objected to this mandated policy change. The IPA Executive Board reiterated its consistent position that vaccination should be voluntary.

While I don’t agree, at least it’s not changing the conditions of employment for those already here.

barking up the wrong tree. New hires aren’t protected by the IPA until after probation.
