Columbia and Nike plan to fire unvaccinated employees

[DoggyDaddy]

Don't worry, that river of immigrants is going to reverse flow before long. Might just be tempting to follow em. FJB

Could be a good plan. Renounce your citizenship, go to Mexico and cross back into the US as an illegal, get all your **** for free!

 

[phylodog]

I was thinking it'll reverse flow soon because conditions in Mexico will be significantly better than here thanks to the demof***s.

Now the boycotters will have a delima. How many from I love Carhartt thread are also boycotters?

Me, for one.

Well you can't switch from Carhartt to Dickies either.

VF Corp, parent company of VANS, Supreme, will Terminate Unvaccinated Employees

VF, parent company of VANS, Supreme, Timberland, and North Face, will terminate unvaccinated US-based office employees January 31.

Maybe Red Kap will keep my business.

Am now, I won't be buying anything else with their logo on it and I started that thread.

Unfortunate for me, hopefully near suicidal for Carharrt. I'd love to see them reverse course on this.

And where does it stop? If I do a search I bet most of the tools you use, equipment you use, probably gun and accessories have a similar edict. I have just given up try to enforce purity on the compaies I buy from…

I've spent a lot of time working there, the idea that the US would get that way is sickening. That said I think Mexico is the long term model. Most Mexicans are a close fit to that "you will own nothing and be happy" saying.

Are you checking each vendor you buy from to be certain they are not violating the purity standards?

What do you do when your power company enforces vaccine edicts?

How does one choose, buy American made but the company requires a vaccine or made in China?

"VANS" as in the canvas tennis shoe things that the hipsters wear? I've never been a customer. Reckon I'll continue that trend.

How does this square with your view of not buying from Walmart because of all the Chinese crap that they sell? Aren't you doing the same thing? It's okay to "buy American" even if they're implementing CCP-like policies?

I don’t like WM. So I don’t shop there. I certainly like to let folks know what WM is and does, particularly after all they spent convincing us they have American products, but I’m beyond the whole boycott BS.

They own more than Vans. They bought Dickies a few years ago.

I don't "like" Walmart per se, but I do like my money. If they're selling the same thing cheaper than I can get it elsewhere (Chinese or not) then that's where I buy it.

That's a shame. Dickies was a good brand. Really can't keep up anyomre.

 

[Ingomike]

So does INGO only boycott after a member posts about the scoundrel? So are you all searching to see if a company has a mandatory vaccination policy?

My favorite shirts are Dickies.

No, I'm not. If I hear about it I'll act but I'm not going to spend my time looking for businesses I don't agree with. I'd much rather we go back to a time where businesses weren't expected to put their political leanings on front street. I like Nathan's hot dogs and especially their pickles. If they're not anxious to announce their politics I'm just fine remaining ignorant of them. If they draw attention to their politics and I don't agree I'll be done with them.

This is not a request to look and I would very much appreciate remaining ignorant of Nathan's political leanings. Please.

I liked their jeans. I also remember these (which I didn't like). Different kind of dickie I know.

I get it but then I got the futility of the boycotts. No one cares. And this is not 2A or the like, it is a company mandating a vaccine to employees, that you and I disagree with. So now are you buying no name Chinese knock offs made by slaves?

 

[gregr]

Kroger isn`t "mandating" the vaccine for their employees, they`re simply adding a $50/pay period surcharge on the unvaxed, as well as doing away with paid time off if they get Covid. Kroger will not see another dime of my money and I let them know that. Now...on to contact Carhartt...

 

[Bugzilla]

Should give them a "shot" as they're attempting to cross the border.

Only need the lead one. Rest will scurry back like rats.
