My brother has worked for Bonneville Power Administration for 30 years and was hoping to work several more before retiring but it sounds like Biden is going to require Federal workers to either get the "vaccine" or be forced to get weekly testing and other bullschwitz. So he is likely to retire from BPA early and have to move and find work elsewhere. Damn!
Sounds like a typical Government ploy to get rid of the highest salary employees. They do this type thing all the time, but not as "in the news" as this. They know the folks that are older and don't want a hassle or change will just leave. The USPO just did this to a friend of mine that had been in a comfortable job for 10 years and can retire when he wants to. They just decided one day they would move him to a job they thought he would hate in another town.......the joke was on them, because he actually liked it....
He has a good pension but unfortunately went through a divorce from the wicked witch of the west and is now needing to work longer than otherwise planned.
There are millions in this country that haven't gotten it yet, myself included. To me it just doesn't pass the smell test. My gut says don't do it. Never been an anti vaxxer until now.
Sounds like she had the better lawyer if he has to keep working after 30yr.
Is thirty years actually considered a long career? With average lifespan near 80 how the hell is work thirty/get paid for thirty more sustainable for any employer other than the federal government/working tax payers?

Good for him, Stand Tall.
It appears my wife will have to look for a new job for the same reasons.

Local VA hospital has already had issues retaining RNs & CNAs since the onset of covid. They've been repeatedly contacting recently retired nurses asking them to return to work with no success. This BS will cost them more staff, now they can concentrate on winning more awards for having the highest number of queers on staff of any VA medical facility.

Tell your brother to hang in there and play their game. Don't get the vaccine but relent to the periodic testing. He'll stay up2date on wheteher he has COVID or not and end up working less hours due to having to be tested on a regular basis. And it will aggrevate the loonies that came up with this idea of mandatory vaccine crap as they not expecting your brother to stick it out and play the game.

If you work 40 hrs/wk: at 5% inflation and after 5 years, you need a 28% pay raise or to work 44 more hours (*one full extra week* per month+) to make up the difference.

You’d need a super-duper lawyer to get out of that in Texas, here your retirement isn’t income, it’s a shared investment with your spouse ie. she already owns a percentage of it dependent upon how many years you were married. Of course FWIW you own part of hers too.
Heck the same thing works with Social Security if you’ve been married just ten years.
Only way out IIRC is if she legally remarries. Not much chance of that happening.

It’s not mandatory. People have a choice. Get it or do the weekly testing. You are being given a choice. No one is holding you down and injecting you. Don’t like the policies? Then quit or retire.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Lesson here. If she's nutz after 7 or 8 years get rid of her! Wait 10 and it's toooooo late.

Per spousal / exspouse Social Security benefit. -- the spousal benefit is approxamatly half the primary receipts and in addition to, NOT half OF. The primary still gets their full benefit and also works the same for both. Upon the death of the primary the surviving spouse / exspouse has the option to draw their own benefit or the deceased spouse full benefit amount.

Ok, I get it, you have three choices, choose.
But, as anyone with more than Two brain cells left to rub together knows, this is only the beginning.
So what’s your advice for those that do not want the jab, when the Federal Government says, “you must take the jab in order to collect your pension.
What about the SSA, what is your expert advice , when the SSA says you Must take the jab to collect your benefits.
What about the Government mandating you take the jab in order to get a drivers license, purchase license plates, get a building permit, purchase a hunting/fishing license, a marriage license, etc.
This is not going to stop with just Public Employees and the Military, this is going to spread to every aspect of our lives.

We’ll see how this plays out. I’m betting it does not end well for many. When all this faux vax crap started, it seemed to be inevitable that the gov would overstep its bounds. I suppose no job is safe from the jabbers but federal gov is least likely place for a happy ending. Glad I don’t work for the feds anymore, or anyone else for that matter.

Lots of vaccinated people are spreading the virus and they should be getting tested weekly as well.
It appears that the vaccines are either not very effective in preventing the Delta variant or their protection is already waning after only 6 months.
It's time for the provaxxers to get their boosters. We'll soon know if the rare autoimmune problems seen after mRNA and viral-vector DNA vaccines become more common or if ADE will become a problem.

Correct. The trend is for vaccination+boosters+testing+mask+face shield. Clearly, a database will be needed.

If they pay for the testing, I'd just get tested every week then.

Breakthrough Covid Cases Among Vaccinated Players Postpones MLB Game Kimberlee Speakman07:53pm EDT
The Major League Baseball game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Nationals was postponed Wednesday after 12 Washington Nationals team members tested positive for Covid-19, a majority of whom were reportedly already vaccinated, as concerns rise over breakthrough Covid-19 cases caused by the delta variant.
Washington Nationals v Philadelphia Phillies PHILADELPHIA, PA - JULY 28: A general view of an empty Citizens Bank Park on July 28, 2021 in ... [+] Getty Images Key Facts
Nationals team manager Dave Martinez said he believes only one member was unvaccinated out of the four players and eight staff members and coaches that tested positive for Covid-19.
A number of the breakthrough cases reportedly came from players that received the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, sources told ESPN.
Martinez said some of the members that tested positive have experienced minor symptoms similar to a “head cold.”
He also said the team would undergo more rounds of Covid-19 testing to make sure additional team members don’t have the virus.
Key Background
Back in May, Martinez said more than 85% of the Washington Nationals team was vaccinated, which under the MLB guidelines allows for looser Covid-19 protocols such as being able to eat or drink on a plane and gather indoors without a mask as long as someone who is not vaccinated isn’t present. This isn’t the first time the Nationals had to postpone a game due to Covid-19. Their season-opener against the New York Mets was also postponed after four Nationals players tested positive for coronavirus.
What To Watch Out For
If more games may be cancelled or postponed due to rising Covid-19 cases in the nation. The Centers for Disease Control reissued mask recommendations on Tuesday due to the spread of the delta variant, which has caused an alarming number of breakthrough infections among those vaccinated. Cases in the U.S. also continue to rise with 80,000 new Covid-19 cases reported Wednesday, up from 55,000 last week, according to the CDC.

Iceland reimposes COVID restrictions after cases surge covid
Iceland, one of the first nations in the world to lift all COVID restrictions for vaccinated tourists, on Friday announced new curbs following a spate of infections.
At the end of June, Iceland lifted rules around social distancing, mask-wearing, limits on public gatherings and the opening hours of bars and restaurants after introducing virus restrictions in March last year.
Starting from midnight on Sunday until August 13, public gatherings will be restricted to 200, the one-metre social distancing rule will be reimposed and bars and restaurants will have to close at 11:00 pm.
Swimming pools and indoor sports facilities can only operate to 75 percent of capacity and masks will be mandatory indoors.
Although over 85 percent of the population above 16 have received two vaccine doses, Iceland has seen infections spurt with 355 new cases since July 12.
The majority of cases are due to the Delta variant, which was first detected in India.
Iceland will resume restrictions at its borders, requiring a negative PCR test less than 72 hours old for travellers who are fully vaccinated.

Just for sheets and giggles, maybe your brother could contest it or fight it as long as it doesn’t cost him , for as long as he can get away with it. If he loses, he can always quit, or if his benefits aren’t negated, make his company fire him, just to drag it out and cost them more money.
Yes. Along with a fairly good size compliment of the BPA.
What’s the BPA?
The Bonneville Power Administration. A federal agency somewhat like the Tennessee Valley Authority, but with many differences. They sell power from the Columbia and Snake River dams. They also own and operate the bulk transmission network from Canada to California.

I'm a Federal employee, I doubt they will force vaccinations on us. Under HIPPA, it's none of their business. I'm vaccinated and I'm retiring at the end of the year, IDGAF.

I suspect Fireballz is unfamiliar with the various heat related environmental injuries. If he's going to be working young bulls in high heat conditions, he should read up on them.
