(Reuters) - T-Mobile US (NASDAQ:TMUS) Inc will fire corporate employees who are not fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by April 2, according to an internal company memo posted on the blog The T-MO Report.

The blog said T-Mobile's new policy was announced on Friday in an email from its human resource chief to all staff. It follows a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Jan. 13 that blocked President Joe Biden's COVID-19 vaccination-or-testing mandate for large businesses.

"Employees who have not yet taken action to receive their first dose and upload proof by February 21 will be placed on unpaid leave," the blog quoted the memo as saying. "Affected employees who do not become fully vaccinated ... by April 2 will be separated from T-Mobile."

The memo, addressed to "all employees (excluding international)," stated that the vaccine rules do not apply to field technicians and most in-store retail roles.

In a statement on Saturday, T-Mobile said "we are requiring office workers (with limited exception for certain roles, locations and legally mandated accommodations and exemptions) to be fully vaccinated by April 2." It added that "badge-controlled offices continue to be accessible only to those who are vaccinated against COVID-19."

After reviewing the medical panel in Congress regarding the COVID vaccines and CDC response I would think twice or three times before having that injected into your body or into your children's body. An unproven & not thoroughly tested vaccine is a life gamble. Miscarriages up 300% plus increases in various cancers including those that were in remission. No one needs to work for T-Mobile with a discrimatory policy as this.
complete and total tyranny under the guess of health lies
guise
Love T-moble but hate their stupid plotical stand and policies. Woke = broke
I can only recommend getting the covid-19 vaccine. I do not recommend anyone mandating anything that that is an invasion of someone's own body. Unless you sign those rights away when you sign up for a job
Not at all, I was saying signing away those freedoms having a federal job. If you get hired by the feds, read the fine print when signing away your life
I'm ditching T mobile - this is going to devastate the company - they haven't got a clue that most people have woken up to the fact that this whole Plandemic is a big con - devastating millions of people's livlihoods, whilst the billionnaires get richer and ever more powerful - Hello???????
BLM supporters and vax mandates supporters are the stupidest people in the world. Hopefully when they are sued they lose everything.
yup trash company. switched to Verizon after the sprint merger. ********on the jab.
What we really need is a vaccination for MAGATs. That's far more destructive than covid.
Tmobile is trash anyways
After 10 years with T-mobile, I'll be leaving.
I'll be dropping t-mobile next week.
Boycotts. This is the only way to teach these companies.
Too little, too late... Delta is gone. I don't see any point anymore in the vaccine mandate. What we have is Omriflue...We have no vaccine for it....
This will not be good
Terrible company. This decision will not be good
