WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Detroit’s Big Three automakers said Tuesday they will extend requirements for workers to wear masks at work sites but are not requiring unionized workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
General Motors Co, Ford Motor, Chrysler-parent Stellantis and the United Auto Workers union in a joint statement agreed union auto workers will voluntarily be asked to report vaccination status. Last week, Stellantis said it would require all of its 14,000 U.S. salaried non-union employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by Jan. 5.
