Outdoor workwear company Carhartt started trending on Twitter on Jan. 18 when a screenshot of an email sent to associates regarding its standing COVID-19 vaccine requirement began making the rounds.
Amy Hellebuyck, Carhartt’s senior public relations manager, confirmed that the email—from CEO Mark Valade—was legitimate and accurately represented the company’s position on vaccines for employees.
The memo states that while Carhartt is extending its deadline for workers at two of its locations to get the jab, the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling on the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate for large employers did not change Carhartt’s policy.
