United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby said on Wednesday that the air carrier will fire 232 of its employees for refusing to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
United in early August became the first U.S. carrier to require COVID-19 vaccinations for all 67,000 of its domestic employees. It had asked workers to present proof of vaccination against COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus by Sept. 27, or face termination.
