Braun
U.S. Senators Mike Braun (R-Ind.) and Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kan.) have introduced legislation to reinstate pilots who were fired over their COVID-19 vaccination status.
In 2021, President Biden mandated through his executive authority that all federal contractors, including airlines operating in the United States, must receive a COVID-19 vaccine. As a result, many airline pilots were forced out of a job.
“No one should have lost their job because they didn’t want to take the COVID vaccine,” Sen. Braun said. “President Biden’s vaccine mandates were completely out of line and violated the liberties of key workers who are essential in daily operations of our skies. Cosponsoring this bill to restore fired pilots to their previously held jobs is a no-brainer and will help bring this critical industry back to full capacity.”
