Supports Mandatory Vaccines For Workers…
As the Biden administration prepares to make vaccines mandatory for all federal workers, and the CDC Director hints at ‘health passes‘ to be able to function in society, the nation’s largest union boss says that the AFL-CIO supports mandatory vaccines for workers.
In comments to C-SPAN‘s “The Washington Journal,” AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said “Yes we do” when asked if the organization supported vaccine mandates. “If you are coming back into the workplace, you have to know what’s around you.”
Earlier this week, the Department of Veterans Affairs became the first federal agency to require that all its medical facility employees receive the jab, while President Biden on Tuesday announced that a mandate for federal employees is “under consideration right now” (with news orgs today reporting it’s all but certain).
On Monday, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) announced that all city employees would either need to be vaccinated or submit to weekly COVID-19 tests starting Sept. 13, giving employees six weeks for unvaccinated employees to make up their minds.
But a union representing emergency workers with the New York City Fire Department, FDNY EMS Local 2507, opposed the mandate, saying “the city and the mayor cannot simply disregard the civil liberties of the workforce.”
Explaining why the AFL-CIO supports vaccine mandates, Trumka said on C-SPAN that “everybody” in the workplace would be jeopardized if a worker is not vaccinated. He also said it’s hard to make proper accommodations if a business doesn’t know if an employee has been vaccinated. -The Hill
“After we get everybody vaccinated in the United States, we have to help people around the world get vaccinated so that more and more variants don’t start springing up and jeopardizing us and our economy, so that we don’t see another shutdown like we saw last year when COVID first hit,” said Trumka, adding that “the best thing that can happen is a vaccination” to prevent COVID variants.
“The president has done a great job on COVID. What we need to do now is get more people vaccinated, and I think the mandate is an acceptable way to do it,” he said.
- Watchman Electing the Next Dictator: Ugly Truths You Won’t Hear from Trump or BidenHNewsWire: By John & Nisha WhiteheadJune 25, 2024 “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”—George Orwell No matter what carefully crafted sound bites and political spin get trotted out by Joe Biden and Donald Trump in advance of the 2024 presidential election, you can rest assured that none of the problems that continue to undermine our freedoms will be addressed in any credible, helpful way by either candidate, despite the dire state of our nation. Certainly not if doing so might jeopardize their standing with the unions, corporations or the moneyed elite bankrolling their campaigns. Indeed, the 2024 elections will not do much to alter our present course towards a police state. Nor will the popularity contest for the new occupant of the White House significantly alter the day-to-day life of […]
- Watchman: The Final Battle Will Be Set Up by Arab Countries Cutting Their Connections With Israel. Everyone Has Agreed That This Battle Has Prophetic Significance, but None Is Prepared to Say Just How. In a Way, the Evangelicals Are Hedging Their BetsHNewsWire: By SRH Other indications that our Lord and Savior will soon return, The historic and much-needed peace agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (and now Bahrain, with talks about more countries joining the line) was signed at the White House on September 18, 2020, at 9:00 a.m. Subsequently, Yeshua (Jesus)-following groups have proliferated throughout Israel, and it is common to witness Jews and Arabs participating in joint worship. I saw firsthand how once-natural foes embraced and shared communion at a conference in Jerusalem intended to spread this reality throughout the larger Middle East. They were recalling how the “Prince of Peace” had shed his blood for them both. Thus, hearts are linked together in honor of the King who will reign forever (Isaiah 9.7), symbolizing an unending state of peace. Political calm, however, might only last moment, […]
- IS SATAN BUILDING HIS ARMY WITH THE C-SHOT?Featured Story: I believe that is exactly what he is doing. Doesn’t it seem strange that those who are advocating for and pushing the shot, and say they have taken it themselves yet are suffering no ill affects like many others who have, do not seem to care how many people are dying from it? And isn’t it strange that they would change the definition of who has and has not taken the shot to mean only those who have taken not only the first shot or shots? But, to mean those who have taken the latest shot in the current series of shots available? One of them, FDA advisor Eric Rubin, made a very peculiar statement when he said, “we need to get it(the shot) into children to find out what it will do”. Shades of Pelosi and the […]
- Watchman Daily Devotional: Bible Verses About Defending Yourself, Your Family & Your CountryNowhere in Scripture does it say that Christians can’t protect themselves or their family. What we should never do though is seek revenge. We must be slow to anger and handle all situations with wisdom. Here are a few illustrations. You never know if someone breaking into your home at night is armed or what their intentions are. You are innocent even if you shoot him. If someone breaks into your home during the day, sees you, and flees; if, in a fit of rage, you pursue him and shoot him, you are guilty and breaking the law in the state of Missouri. Someone who is a threat to you is not the same as someone who is not. As a Christian, you have to walk away from someone who punches you in the face and not try to punch […]

Wonder how many US Covid hospitalizations were only diagnosed post-admission, keeping in mind of course that US hospitals are paid more for Covid patients under the CARES Act.
Too many Balls are missing in this country right now. The coup is done and nothing was done to stop it.
