AT&T announced on Sept. 29 that it is extending its current COVID-19 vaccination policy to employees who are members of the Communications Workers of America (CWA) union, making it one of the largest employers in the U.S. to mandate vaccines for a significant portion of its workers.

In a statement, the world’s largest telecommunications company said the vaccine mandate was being rolled out to help “make our workplace safer for more of our employees and customers.”
