(Washington, DC) -- The CEO of United Airlines is pushing back against Republican senators critical of United's COVID vaccine mandate for its employees.
CEO Scott Kirby on Wednesday told the Senate Commerce Committee the airline ordered its workers to be vaccinated for safety and he believes the mandate saved lives. Kirby said, "We don't compromise on safety."
Texas GOP Senator Ted Cruz criticized United's mandate and told Kirby it's "disregarding the rights of your employees."
