American Airlines pushed back its deadline for workers to be fully vaccinated. It is pushed back by more than a month after the US administration revised its own deadlines.
Now, the White House has aligned vaccine mandate deadlines for both federal contractors and firms that employ more than 100 workers.
American will also extend the period for employees who get vaccinated to claim an extra day of leave next year as well as a $50 voucher.
