Yeah, About That Funny Rule

 Back in mid-March....the federal government 'law' took place, where if you work for a medical establishment (including retiree home).....you must be Covid-vaxed.

Well....to be honest....the rule said you'd be fired or let to, if you could not prove your vax-situation.

Our regional public TV news (HR) brought this topic up.  It seems that the government has mailed out letters to the 'bad boys/girls' who haven't proven their vax-status.

For Hessen, around 10,000 letters went out.  Surprise.....few, responses have occurred.

Healthcare HR had to mid-April to clear up their situation, and that seems to have not gone well.  

The layoff wave predicted in March?  Well....it didn't occur.  But the threat still remains.  

My humble guess?  The state mechanism will play along until the fall period arrives with more Covid showing up.  Then I suspect a forced layoff rule will come down.  

The general problem here.....already before Covid came along....they had a manpower problem.  So just hinting a layoff, in the middle of a healthcare manpower crisis....isn't that smart.
