纽约（美国有线电视新闻网）公司最近告诉员工，为了遵守拜登政府即将实施的疫苗规定，星巴克要求其员工全面接种 Covid-19 疫苗或每周接受测试。
在星巴克首席运营官约翰·卡尔弗 (John Culver) 的一封信中，这家咖啡连锁店告诉其大约 220,000 名美国员工，他们必须在 1 月 10 日之前披露他们的疫苗接种情况。
尽管星巴克强烈建议员工接种疫苗，但员工可以选择不接种疫苗，而是每周进行一次检测。他们将负责获得自己的联邦批准的测试并提交结果。
卡尔弗写道：“这是我们可以采取的重要步骤，以帮助更多的合作伙伴接种疫苗，限制 Covid-19 的传播，并根据对他们最有利的方式创造合作伙伴可以拥有的选择。” “如果疫苗接种率上升，社区传播放缓，我们将相应地做出调整。但如果情况变得更糟，我们可能不得不考虑采取额外措施。目前，我希望我们都能尽自己的一份力量来保护彼此。”
星巴克于 12 月 27 日将通知发送给员工，并在周一发送的每周更新中重复了任务细节。
随着 Omicron 变种在美国迅速传播，职业安全与健康管理局最近将新日期定为 2 月 9 日，要求大型雇主进行全面疫苗接种或每周检测。
星巴克 (SBUX) 此前曾表示，它“强烈鼓励”员工接种疫苗，并为包括加强疫苗在内的每剂疫苗提供两小时的带薪休假。它加入了许多雇主的行列，要求工人出示 Covid-19 疫苗的证明，以遵守某些地方的当地法律。
Starbucks mandates vaccinations or Covid tests for workers
New York (CNN Business)To comply with the Biden administration's upcoming vaccine mandate, Starbucks is requiring its workers to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 or undergo weekly testing, the company recently told employees.
In a letter from Starbucks Chief Operating Officer John Culver, the coffee chain told its approximately 220,000 US employees they must disclose their vaccination status by January 10.
Although Starbucks strongly recommended employees get vaccinated, workers can choose not to get vaccinated and instead get tested weekly. They will be responsible for acquiring their own federally approved tests and submitting results.
"This is an important step we can take to help more partners get vaccinated, limit the spread of Covid-19, and create choices that partners can own based on what's best for them," Culver wrote. "If vaccination rates rise and community spread slows, we will adapt accordingly. But if things get worse, we may have to consider additional measures. For now, my hope is that we will all do our part to protect one another."
Starbucks sent the note to employees on December 27 and repeated the mandate details in a weekly update sent on Monday.
The changes come as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recently set a new date of February 9 for large employers to require either full vaccinations or weekly testing as the Omicron variant spreads quickly throughout the United States.
Starbucks (SBUX) previously said it was "strongly encouraging" employees to get the vaccine and offered two hours of paid time off for each dose including the booster. It joins a number of employers requiring workers to show proof of a Covid-19 vaccine in order to comply with local laws in some places.
