Ford is first major US automaker to mandate vaccines

Ford will mandate vaccines for its most of 32,000 US salaried employees, a spokesperson for the company said Wednesday.
Those workers have until December 8 to be fully vaccinated. Employees who refuse to do so and do not have an approved religious or medical exemption could be put on paid leave for a maximum of 30 days. After that time their job protection expires, according to the spokesperson.
"The goal is to achieve highest possible vaccination rate without severe consequences to any employee," said the spokesperson.

A little-known civil rights office in the Department of Education that helps resolve complaints from students across the country about discrimination and accommodating disabilities has been gutted by the Trump administration and is now facing a ballooning backlog, a workforce that’s in flux and an unclear mandate.
