Everything you need to know about the OSHA Vaccination Mandate
Early in September, Biden announced what he called a "6-pronged plan" to fight COVID. The two primary "prongs" are an executive order mandating that federal employees and contractors be vaccinated. OSHA was to issue a mandate to private businesses with more than 100 employees requiring that employees be vaccinated through an emergency temporary standard (ETS).
After two months, on Thursday, OSHA has finally issued the rule, which will require over 100 million Americans to be vaccinated against COVID-19 by Jan. 4 or get tested for the virus weekly under government rules. Along with this new rule, OSHA will consider during a 30-day public comment on the private-sector rule expanding the mandate to cover businesses with fewer than 100 workers.
Yes, you read that correctly. OSHA is considering a rule that will mandate employers with fewer than 100 employees to require their employees to be vaccinated. I would encourage you to go and comment and tell them what you think.
