A federal judge in Texas has temporarily stopped United Airlines' plan to put employees on leave if they have requested an exemption to the company's Covid vaccine mandate.
Roughly 2,000 out of the 67,000 US United employees, or less than 3%, requested an exemption from the mandate for religious or medical reasons. United said even if their requests for medical exemptions were granted, the workers would be placed on medical leave, which may or may not include some portion of their pay, depending upon their union contract.
That's roughly one-third of 1% of the company's staff, and down from an initial estimate of about 600 unvaccinated employees. The suit does not involve the unvaccinated employees who did not seek an exemption and are therefore still facing termination.Read MoreMark Paoletta, the attorney for the plaintiffs in the case, said he was grateful for the ruling, even it it was only temporary.
