The number of people this would bar stands to be relatively few. Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman, at a conference the bank organized last week, said 90% of employees working from the bank’s offices are vaccinated — a figure he expects will jump to 98%, he added.
However, the policy’s ramifications could be vast. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission reinforced in May that federal law does not prevent companies from restricting employees from physically entering workplaces if they refuse to get vaccinated, provided the firms’ reasoning doesn’t discriminate against religious and medical exemptions.
