"LEAVE politics at the door," Commonwealth Ports Authority Board Chairwoman Kimberlyn King-Hinds told the members following the re-election of board officers on Thursday last week.
Compliance with this policy is now a condition of continued employment with CPA.
Employees who fail to comply with the requirements will be barred from entering the worksite and may be terminated if proof of vaccination is not provided to CPA within 30 days during which the employee will be placed on leave without pay.
The board members who approved the new policy were chairwoman Kimberlyn King-Hinds, vice chairman Roman T. Tudela, Pete P. Reyes, Thomas Villagomez, Barrie C. Toves and Joseph M. Diaz.
Board member Ray Tebuteb was excused from the meeting on Friday.
Prior to the roll-call vote, King-Hinds told her fellow board members, âWe need to be in this together. We have to set an example.â
