Cargo Shipping Companies: Vaccine Mandate Will Increase Worker Shortage, Wreaking Havoc on Supply ChainWendell Husebø 22 Oct 2021
Cargo air shipping companies this week warned President Joe Biden the vaccine mandate will wreak havoc on the supply chain by increasing worker shortages across the industry, Politico reported Thursday.
“We have significant concerns with the employer mandates announced on Sept. 9, 2021, and the ability of industry members to implement the required employee vaccinations by Dec. 8, 2021,” Stephen Alterman, president of the Cargo Airline Association, wrote to the Office of Management and Budget.
The association represents large air cargo companies like UPS, FedEx, DHL Express, and Atlas Air and carries Amazon packages and medical supplies.
“The looming December 8 mandate for having fully vaccinat[ed] workforces creates a significant supply chain problem,” Alterman continued. “This problem is further exacerbated by the fact that we are already experiencing a worker shortage, both in the air and on the ground, and any loss of employees who refuse to be vaccinated will adversely impact needed operations.”
Biden’s executive order has also caused the shipping companies UPS and FedEx to acknowledge they are concerned about the vaccine mandate and are reviewing the possibility of losing many workers due to the federal mandate.
