The UAW story came out yesterday, about a week after a major shipbuilding yard caved to the union, which was pressured by the workers. The legal aspect of the shipyard story was that, while the shipyard is unquestionably a government contractor, the company has a contract with the unionized workers. The lawyers must have that "workarounds” lacking any rational basis probably won’t pass muster with the courts, in view of the
I'll tell you, the world of seeking employment right now is not a fun place to be in this mess. My family is lucky in the fact that we could ride out the majority of the last several months and not care too much but it's getting to be a pita.
I am now in my third rendition of interviewing with companies in the past 2 months where the vax has come up. The first and second ended abruptly when the vaccine conversation was introduced by the HR reps asking if I would agree to being vaccinated or taking testing weekly/biweekly. The answer of "yes" was insufficient for both companies so the question was reintroduced in 3-4 different ways until it was made clear that my "yes" referred to "testing" and not to vaccination.
A third company, which is still an ongoing conversation, in it's third stage, basically "salary and benifit" negotiation has informed me in writing that vaccination, regardless and in spite of Florida's newly passed laws was going to be required PERIOD. Because the position is corporate but Florida based they are relying on the policies of the parent west coast state to push the issue under the guise of "travel".
I have a workaround for this but I am extremely hesitant to use it, I shouldn't need to.
I wish I could get away from these "woke" multi national a-hole companies but unfortunately thats exactly where I keep getting directed to. The subject of vaccines has literally become a division of income level and opportunity similar to having a GED vs a PhD. If I want to work for peanuts, no problem, if I expect to make a decent salary, it's a big problem.
Thank you for the good overview and perspective re: Nu. It seems like the introduction of this new "threat" to the world was well coordinated and timed to inflict maximum damage to the world economy and the collective psyche. We are on a fearmongering treadmill now.
El gato malo has a good take on it with some salient points which also put Nu in perspective at this point:

It's really a messed up position to be in.
Let's see--get boosted every 3 months now? It's getting crazier by the day.

"From the President of Botswana, where the variant was first discovered:
"The preliminary report revealed all four [patients] had been previously vaccinated for COVID-19."
