Attorneys from a prominent workforce law firm told contractors that it is within their legal rights to compel workers to get vaccinated against COVID-19, during a webinar hosted Wednesday by the Associated General Contractors of America.
D. Albert Brannen and A. Kevin Troutman, both partners at Atlanta-based Fisher Phillips, compared requiring construction workers to get a coronavirus vaccination to existing rules for healthcare workers that make flu shots mandatory, in order to protect all patients and staff and keep the workplace safe.
