Raytheon will lose 'several thousand' workers due to COVID-19 vaccine mandate - CEOAntwortenGesendet von Schwarzgeldkonto am 26.10.2021 17:23:44Antworten Raytheon Technologies' top boss warned on Tuesday the U.S. aerospace and defense firm will lose 'several thousand' employees who refused to take COVID-19 vaccines, as it prepares to meet the Biden administrations Jan. 1 deadline for immunization.
"We will lose several thousand people," Raytheon Chief Executive Greg Hayes said in a CNBC interview on Tuesday, adding that staff hiring was underway. The company has a total of 125,000 U.S. employees.
Raytheon, the maker of Tomahawk missiles, last month said it will require all U.S. employees to be fully vaccinated by mid-December, after the Biden administration mandated immunization for nearly all federal employees and contractors, in a bid to increase vaccination coverage in the country.
