Effects Bargaining Report COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate- Frontier

CWA has continued to meet with Frontier to bargain over the effects the Company’s   planned   COVID-19   vaccine   mandate   will   have   on   our members. 

We are continuing our review of information provided by Frontier to determine if their proposed mandate is fully required under the law. 

As mentioned in our previous bargaining report, Frontier started requesting that employees submit their vaccination status. Earlier today, Frontier sent another email to employees stating that they must confirm their vaccination status  and  upload  their  vaccination  card.  This  email  was  not  correct. Frontier  will  send  another  email  to  employees  to clarify that  they “are asking union employees to confirm vaccination status”. 

Although CWA does not object to Frontier asking for this information, we wanted to let you know that it is not mandatory for the unionized workforce at this time. 

The parties will continue to meet, as needed. 

We will continue to provide updates regarding any developments.
