Why are they so concerned with covid? They never required me to get a flu shot before. This is nothing more than trying to control your life and the way you live it. If it comes down to being mandated I will walk out the door.
We’ve been mandated to where masks even if vaccinated at my club for a while now. Of course the county I live in is under a state of emergency due to covid sooooo….makes sense.
Walmart is requiring that all workers at its headquarters as well as its managers who travel within the U.S. be vaccinated against COVID-19 by Oct. 4.
The retailer based in Bentonville, Arkansas, is also reversing its mask policy for its employees working in stores, clubs, distribution facilities and warehouses. Going forward, they will be required to wear masks in areas with high infection rates, even if they have been vaccinated.
The moves are part of a series of sweeping measures the nation’s largest retailer and private employer announced Friday to help curb the spread of the virus and drive more of its workers to get the shot in the arm.
The vaccine mandate excludes frontline workers, who the company says have a lower vaccination rate than management. But it’s hoping that managerial employees, who represent just a fraction of its 1.5 million workers, will serve as inspiration.
Quit with the rumors people
“Walmart said Tuesday there is no change to its policy, which requires vaccinations for office workers but not store employees” Quoted from a news article released 8/25.
Stop spreading misinformation.
Date???
Who said it. Haven't heard it at our club.
