the biden administration, which in september said any company that does business with a government including southwest that has more than 100 employees will have to mandate that they get the shot by early in december or people will lose their job. >> he said i've never been in favor of corporations imposing that mandate. i'm not in favor of that, never have been, but the executive order from president biden mandates all of federal employees and all federal contractors which covers the major airlines have to have a mandated vaccine in place by december 8, so we are working through that. >> southwest airline pilot association which represents the 9000 pilots for southwest have blamed airline management in what's described for planning, unions raise alarms over the summer as pilots were being led-- they have sources that say this is the beginning of a work slowdown essentially and the ceo is flat-out lying.
