UPS to require vaccines for returning office workers - Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Package delivery company’s front-line workers exempted

UPS will require employees returning to work at its headquarters and other office buildings to be vaccinated against the coronavirus.

But the package delivery giant isn’t requiring the same of its front-line workers, who represent the bulk of its workforce.

Those who return to work at UPS headquarters in Sandy Springs and support locations in Alpharetta will have to be vaccinated by Oct. 1 — either fully vaccinated or with at least the first of two doses and a scheduled date for a second shot, according to the company.

The mandate could mean fewer office workers return immediately after Labor Day than UPS had planned, as a surge in COVID-19 cases scrambles employer plans.

They can all stay home we don't need them anyways.

The company probably hopes all the union employees dies so they can place them with cheaper labor

None of what you said makes any sense. I love how "front line workers" think office people are not needed. Do you ever have to make a call to your cable company? How about when your electricity goes out--do you call a line man? Do you enjoy dealing with people you can't understand who can only read from a script? Our customers don't.

And how would they get people to work for less money when they can't keep people for the pay they offer now?

You make very good points but UPS doesn't operate on logic.
It's beneficial to them to just keep cycling out cheaper labor than waiting 5 years or so trying to push out higher paid employees. I read an article that said this was Amazon's business model. And i kinda feel UPS would like a piece of that action.

As of right now its limited to Corp buildings by location but the verbiage states "if you likely come in contact with anyone in your job description you are required to be vaccinated".."

not gonna happen.

my words were ups will never mandate the vaccine. I wrongly assumed you were a driver and referring to driver mandates. Since ups does what it wants with non-union I'm not surprised by this.

The teamsters are failing nationally at pushing away the mandate.. Even in california lol.. You may get a day or two off to get the vaccine but if the teamsters cant win in cali what makes you think they will win court orders on the east coast?

When they say "office people", they really mean the important people.

The company wont even tell when a coworker had positive kung flu.
