WSJ - Carhartt Stuck With Its Covid-19 Vaccine Mandate. The Backlash Ensued.

Some people said they would stop buying Carhartt products and said the company shouldn’t be forcing its employees to choose between getting vaccinated and keeping their job. Other customers welcomed the company’s mandate and thanked Carhartt for keeping their employees safe.

The workwear-apparel maker, based in Dearborn, Mich., said it decided to keep its own vaccine mandate to ensure workplace safety, a spokeswoman for the company said. Last week’s ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court striking down the Biden administration’s vaccination requirements for large private employers doesn’t affect the company’s own mandate, she said.

“Carhartt fully understands and respects the varying opinions on this topic, and we are aware some of our associates do not support this policy,” the spokeswoman told The Wall Street Journal in a statement. “However, we stand behind our decision because we believe vaccines are necessary to protect our workforce.”
