President Bidens vaccine or test mandate for employers of 100 or more employees is being scrapped effective Wednesday, January 26. OSHA, who was charged with enforcement of Bidens controversial vaccine mandate, shared that they will not enforce the mandate and are “withdrawing” the “temporary standard”
In yet another setback for the beleaguered Biden Administration, The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled Bidens mandate as unconstitutional.
OSHA’s Vaccine Mandate Press Release:
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration is withdrawing the vaccination and testing emergency temporary standard issued on Nov. 5, 2021, to protect unvaccinated employees of large employers with 100 or more employees from workplace exposure to coronavirus. The withdrawal is effective January 26, 2022.
Although OSHA is withdrawing the vaccination and testing ETS as an enforceable emergency temporary standard, the agency is not withdrawing the ETS as a proposed rule. The agency is prioritizing its resources to focus on finalizing a permanent COVID-19 Healthcare Standard.
OSHA strongly encourages vaccination of workers against the continuing dangers posed by COVID-19 in the workplace.
