Yes, we are having the same issue at my company, since we have a lot of government contracts.
My company has been very accommodating with exemptions, but from what I hear, we are the exception. But even with the exemptions, the unvaxxed are to be treated as second-class citizens.
“mandate was announced early to get afghan disaster off front page”
Ideologue nonsense alert.
The money shot - What more does one need to know?
This is a head fake.
They want people to get complacent and think it’s over and stop protesting and fighting while it goes through the courts.
Keep fighting!
1. OSHA/ETS. Tried in Circuits Courts of appeal. The ETS went into effect immediately, and is not "shut down./ Note, th ETS is shut down. That's Emergency temporary standard. Those only have a life of 6 months no matter what.
2. OSHA, not ETS but "regular standard" or "regular rule." Tried in District Courts. Why no cases yet? because the regular rule isn't in effect yet. The notice in the Federal register laid out a timeline for comment and a date the regular rule would be effective.
The "OSHA, not ETS" activity is still very much alive. Most companies 100+ employees will act as though implementation is inevitable. They may not like it, but it's the easier of two difficult choices.

The OSHA thing is actually two OSHA things. Very open detail, but most are skipping over the detail and conflating two things into one.

My employer, a large multi-national bank ELIMINATED their vaccine mandate in a memo that went to all employees today.
The memo stated ALL EMPLOYEES will be welcomed back to the office starting January 3rd, in phases AND that we'd have hybrid work schedules, mixing work from home and in-office days based on our own schedules.
Isn't that something?
All the language about vaccination requirements are just GONE in every communication now. They see the writing on the wall.
Maybe I did not read closely enough but I did not see federal contractors, feral employees or DoD employees or military mentioned.
They need to back off of that crap as well of course.
The yard ape sec def has staked such a hard line position he has closed any save face doors to himself. He is going to have to get an order to back off or he won’t no matter how stupid it is.
Yup, timing was spot on. Divert, duck, dodge, deflect and deny.
There are so many things we need to remember but without retribution why? I don’t just want to get even.
Good questions hang in the air, will people fired for not taking the jab have redress? will people maimed or killed by the vaccine get any recompense?
How many will remember this mess created by Xiden and his gang of Marxists?
None of this is the least bit funny. It is a human tragedy. Countless thousands of lives have been needlessly turned upside down and all on the ruthless whim of Biden and his gang of Marxists. They have tortured and committed crimes against all of us. I hate them.
I would not want to be guilty of wishful thinking but anybody sane would see the writing on the wall that the court will not support the ETS and therefore not support the “Regular Standard”
Of course we we are not dealing with sane people.
BUT ... we are dealing with courts here, and any outcome is possible.
Timeline of final standards is varibale depending on whther OSHA grants hearings and so on. Could drag outuntil June 2020 pretty easily. Time for comments on a final rule runs to January 4, 2022.
All this is waste - waste by OSHA (I wonder how much ot cost to put together that 154 page notice in the FR), waste by compliance officers in companies (although most will comply because they just love to boss people around andnow they have a reason), lawyers and experts all around.
Crazy world.
Feds have other agencies that could overreach to similar effect. Jerk the country around. Satan's minions, hard at work.
That is what I see, WASTE.
Good to hear. Keep us updated on how things go.
However, I think the word is getting around (if a posting I read yesterday is accurate) that the true number of military members not complying is around 367,000, not the 16,000 the official narrative from the DOD is stating. If that number is true, there's no way 1/3 to 1/4 of the military can be court martialed. And if it is also true that the Pentagon fears an armed revolt if they try, then perhaps they will be backing off that demand as well soon, for the military and federal employees.
All we can do is stay saddled up and endure the ride. Thank you for your wisdom and knowledge. Let's keep in touch!
I wish that would happen at our damn comm. college.
I’m figuring being out on my ear Dec. 2. Before I finish the semester. Preparing to do my own tutoring.
They put out rules but still begs a lot of questions. Could fall apart on its own but I doubt they will happily drop the mandate. Bunch of sheepish commies in this county and thlocal college no different.
I don’t know if they count as a fed gov arm at all or not. Being they probably get lots of fed money.
How ‘bout we quit all this fooling around and mandate everyone 18 or older has to take a 6mg tablet of ivermectin everyday?
Bye bye virus.
F!J!B
Thanks for the ping.

Glad to see some!
