Mike Klemm, District 141 President, on NBC Nightly News Discussing Vaccine Mandates
IAMAW District 141 President Mike Klemm was among those interviewed in the aftermath of United Airlines’ decision to fire nearly 600 employees who refused to get vaccinated and did not obtain a religious or medical exemption.
Unions around the nation are facing vaccine mandates, including professional athletes, actors, Flight Attendants, Pilots, and others. To date, no unions, lawmakers, government officials, or organizations have successfully prevented employer vaccine mandates.
The position of the IAMAW District 141 is that employer vaccine mandates are unnecessarily provocative and divisive. They should not be used until an honest, good-faith effort to employee incentive programs has been tried first. IAMAW District 141 is planning to use the Grievance process to defend the contractual rights of any workers who lose their jobs as a result of vaccine mandates.
