With 46% of construction workers claiming they will not get vaccinated for Covid-19, President Joe Biden’s Sept. 9 executive order requiring vaccines for all federal contractors and for companies with more than 100 employees has become a concern for the Associated General Contractors and other industry groups.
“We expect to lose 40% of our workforce that will just quit in lieu of a vaccine mandate,” says Ken Naquin, CEO of the Louisiana Associated General Contractors.
