Washington State AG Will Require Dept's Staff To Be Vaxxed, Or Else Be Fired!
A new draft policy from the Washington Attorney General’s Office would require the department’s employees to be fully vaccinated and submit proof, or be summarily fired. Acquired by the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH, the policy would even apply if the AG’s office maintains a telework option according to a memo that accompanied the draft.
The draft memo effectively blames the vaccine mandate on disabled and/or religious staff for either being unable or unwilling to get vaccinated. The impetus around the mandate is to protect those staffers from COVID. Staff who fall into either category may seek accommodation, but it’s not guaranteed. Volunteers and office visitors must abide by the same policies.
The mandate is concerning to employees who think this is a dangerous government overreach and will spread to other agencies. The draft comes weeks after Governor Jay Inslee vowed not to compel vaccine passports at places of work. Instead, he would grant employees the option of wearing a mask.
