New York – The headquarters of Citigroup has recently announced that all staff is required to go through mandatory vaccination or risk losing their jobs.
Staff who are not vaccinated by the end Jan 14 will be placed on unpaid leave and fired by the end of the month.
As cases in the United States are spreading at an incredible rate, actions are needed to be taken. Other financial giants in the US have allowed their unvaccinated staff to work from home and Citigroup is the first finance company to take a big move against those that are not vaccinated.
Citigroup employees have reached 90% vaccination rates and with the “verdict” made by the headquarters, the numbers are rising.
The Bank said that they are following Joe Biden’s police that companies who are working/supporting government-related contracts to be fully vaccinated.
As of Jan 6, the United States has a 7 day average of 604,832 cases, this brings their total cases to date at over 60 million cases with 858,346 fatalities and over 42 million have recovered.
