vaccine mandate

Under Senate Bill 7, which now heads Gov. Greg Abbott’s desk, private employers in Texas can’t require workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Any found in violation of the ban would be fined $50,000.

At issue: Should ex-troops continue to face consequences for refusing the vaccine order, even though the order has been rescinded?

In a memo to employees, United CEO Scott Kirby said the airline has 3,000 employees who are currently positive for Covid but that zero of its vaccinated employees are currently hospitalized.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott said Tuesday he is suing the federal government over the Defense Department’s vaccine mandate for military service members, saying the requirement interferes with his authority over the Texas National Guard. Abbott accused the Biden administration of violating the Second Militia clause of the Constitution and undermining his commander-in-chief power.
