Vaccine mandates and CO shortages

Corrections Officers worked all through the pandemic. Many of them, too many, caught Covid, recovered and kept working. They were called heroes.

Suddenly they are being told to get vaccinated against Covid 19 or be terminated. Some thanks. Well many CO's are refusing. There are many reasons, already have natural immunity from having it, religious exemption, and gasp, free will.

Employers public and private use coercion to force vaccines on the unwilling. The threat of losing your livelihood is a strong threat. But many employers are finding that's a two way street. More and more industries have had to reverse course on mandating the jab because workers have chosen to withhold the labor they need.

That is happening now in Corrections. Pima County, Arizona is now requiring all CO's to be vaccinated or face being fired. 158 of the 371 CO's are not vaccinated. There are calls to 'reduce inmate population' if the unvaccinated are fired!

At the end of the day labor is a two way street between employer and employee.
