Three of the largest employers in Texas -- IBM, American Airlines, and Southwest Airlines -- confirmed they will follow President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate that requires employees of major companies to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

The announcements came quickly after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed an executive order on Monday, including private businesses, across the state. Major corporations with operations in Texas have been stuck between Abbott’s order and the White House order.

American Airlines and Southwest Airlines also announced their plans to follow the federal order since they have contracts with the federal government to transport employees and goods. American, the largest U.S. carrier, is based in Fort Worth, while Southwest is headquartered in Dallas.mandate supersedes any conflicting state laws, and this does not change anything for American,” a spokesperson told Bloomberg News.

Also on Tuesday, a federal judge in Texas ordered United Airlines to temporarily pause its vaccine mandate for employees who are seeking an exemption, according. Unvaccinated employees, in particular, can’t be placed on unpaid leave if they’ve requested an exemption.
