Delta will impose a surcharge on unvaccinated workers

Delta Air Lines will require employees who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 to pay a $200 monthly surcharge on their company-provided health insurance beginning Nov. 1, and will require weekly testing for unvaccinated employees starting on Sept. 12 and lasting until case rates decline. Delta head Ed Bastian told employees, “With this week’s announcement that the FDA has granted full approval for the Pfizer vaccine, the time for you to get vaccinated is now,” in a recent memo and added that three-quarters of Delta’s workers are already vaccinated.
