Alaska Airlines pushes employees toward vaccination
Alaska Airlines leadership is imposing restrictions on those not vaccinated and providing a $200 bonus to those who are, the company announced. Like Southwest, American and Delta, Alaska is stopping short of requiring vaccination as a condition of employment, the step taken by United Airlines. Instead, its new policy will monetarily reward those who are vaccinated and penalize those who refuse. “We believe having as many people as possible vaccinated is the best path for protection against COVID-19, and we will continue to strongly encourage our employees to be vaccinated,” Alaska said. Though 75% of Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air employees have so far provided proof of vaccination, the airline said “we have more work to do.” And so it is “implementing new measures designed to increase vaccination rates.”<br/>
