BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Southwest scraps plan to force leave for unvaccinated who seek exemptions

October 20, 2021 Reprints

Southwest Airlines has scrapped a plan to put unvaccinated employees who have applied for but haven’t received a religious or medical exemption on unpaid leave, according to CNBC. As a federal contractor, Southwest Airlines is subject to a Biden administration requirement that employees are vaccinated against Covid-19 by Dec. 8 unless they are exempt for medical or religious reasons. The company is giving employees until Nov. 24 to finish their vaccinations or apply for an exemption.
