The airlines say the policy
would remain in effect until they can better determine how to have the
unvaccinated employees interact with customers and co-workers who are
vaccinated.
United says accommodations
can be made for people who have "sincerely held religious beliefs" on
a case-by-case basis.
Workers with a valid medical
reason would be put on paid leave.
