Dear IBT Members:
As reported late last week, yesterday evening we filed charges with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on behalf of the membership that applied for religious or medical exemptions to the mandatory vaccination policy. You can read the charges here.
We still encourage you to file individual complaints on your own behalf at https://www.eeoc.gov./how-file-charge-employment-discrimination.
The Airline Division still strongly objects to United Airlines’ spiteful policy towards members that have legitimate reasons to seek exemptions. We will vigorously defend your rights to receive an exemption without being punished for the company’s failure to establish a protocol to ensure safety more than 18 months into a worldwide pandemic.
The EEOC charge will be posted to the Airline Division website where you can track its progress. Please reach out to your business agents with any questions.
With Solidarity,
Vinny Graziano
