As the Delta variant drives up the number of COVID-19 cases, many businesses are now having to decide whether to mandate or require vaccinations for their employees.
“Employers are in a really tough spot on this. Trying to balance the needs of their business, the needs of their employees, the needs of their customers, there’s no easy answer any way you look at it,” said employment lawyer Marcelo Dieguez.
In some cases, companies have developed a two-tier policy with different rules for different employees depending on their jobs.
On Monday, Walmart announced a policy to “require all market, regional and divisional associates who work in multiple facilities and all campus office associates to be vaccinated by Oct. 4, unless they have an approved exception.”

BENTONVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) – Walmart customers took to social media to speak out about an email they received containing a racial slur, prompting the big box store to issue a statement Monday blaming an “external bad actor.”
The email the retail giant sent to Nexstar’s KNWA/FOX24 reportedly contained the slur in place of some customers’ names.
Walmart spokesperson Payton McCormick said the emails were not sent by anyone affiliated with the company.
“We discovered that an external bad actor created false Walmart accounts with obvious intent to offend our customers. We were shocked and appalled to see these offensive and unacceptable emails,” McCormick said. “We’re looking into our sign up process to ensure something like this doesn’t happen again. We’re also looking into all available means to hold those responsible accountable.”
