ARA Letter to WH and DOL on Employer-Enforced COVID Vaccine Mandate
Writing on behalf of rural businesses throughout North America, Agricultural Retailers Association CEO and President Daren Coppock sent a letter to President Biden and the Department of Labor regarding the planned COVID vaccine mandate to be enforced by employers.
In the letter Coppock said: “While we share your goal of putting COVID-19 behind us as soon as possible, we oppose the idea of compelling employers to enforce vaccine mandates. This opposition is not because we question the vaccines or the need to receive them – rather, our opposition comes from the likely impacts the sweeping mandate will have on an already-tight employment situation for agricultural employers. We submit that there are better ways to achieve the goal of higher vaccination rates.”
