The Biden administration on Thursday announced the deadline for his private employer vaccine mandate, raising serious questions about how the rule will exacerbate the supply chain crisis.
According to RealClearPolitics’ Tom Bevan, there is no exemption for the trucking industry and there will likely be drivers who quit over the mandate.
“So all the biggest trucking companies in America - who already face major driver shortages - will see a % of their workforce quit. Supply chain crisis is going to get much worse - very soon,” he warned.
Bevan noted that a significant percentage of drivers are unvaccinated, which doesn’t make much of a difference given “the very nature of the job is iconoclastic: they spend most of the day alone in the cab of a truck, having very little interaction with other people.”
This also means their risk of transmission is lower than other occupations, he said.
