Tyson chicken mandates vaccine - Less than half of their 1,300 truck drivers vaxed

less than half of the company's 1,300 drivers have been vaccinated, the mandate from management could see hundreds flee the company. Recently, informal polling at CCJ's sister site, Overdrive, indicated that 35% of unvaccinated drivers don't trust "elites" and would be unlikely to take the shot under external pressures. Responding to a recent poll by CCJ sister publication Truckers News, 30% of company drivers said they would refuse a mandatory vaccine and force the employer to fire them. Another nearly 17% said they would claim a medical or religious exemption, while 16% said they would quit. Almost 7% said they would comply and get the vaccine. About 25% of drivers polled said they had already been vaccinated.
