Big businesses are siding against Texas in mandate fight
| The fight over vaccine mandates between the White House and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) is putting businesses in the middle. But many are picking the White House’s preferred policy.
American Airlines and Southwest Airlines, which are both based in the Lone Star State, say they will defy Abbott’s order that no business in the state should impose a vaccine mandate on employees or customers, and comply with President Biden’s mandate that all companies with at least 100 employees require vaccines or weekly testing for employees. Other companies based in Texas have already imposed vaccine mandates and have given no indication they will change their positions in the wake of Abbott’s executive order. |
