Unions representing airline pilots of two US airlines have responded to recently announced policies by their companies that require employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
Pilot Unions Respond to Airlines’ Planned Vaccine Requirements
Key Takeaways:
- United Airlines is mandating COVID-19 vaccination for all employees by October 25, a decision its pilot union disputes, citing a need for further negotiations despite the airline's emphasis on safety.
- Frontier Airlines requires employees to be vaccinated by October 1 or provide regular negative COVID-19 test results, a more flexible policy its pilot union plans to discuss for alignment with their collective bargaining agreement.
- Both airlines justify their new vaccine policies by citing employee safety and the increasing threat of the COVID-19 Delta variant.
