USPS among others. Psaki stated that there isn’t a single unified system among the Executive branch agencies to provide proof or attest to vax. Each is doing it’s own thing.
This whole vax regime announced today is laughable. Does the executive have authority under emergency powers? Sure. However, first there must be a sudden, unexpected event that is transitory and limited in duration; an emergency.
An endemic virus that has surfaced and circulated for 18 to 20 months with several mutations developing which still presents a survival rate of over 99% does not constitute an emergency.
Even if it did, invoking emergency powers isn’t a game of ‘Simon Says’. The actions proposed by the executive must be based upon data. Opinion, even expert opinion, doesn’t cut it by itself past the initial few weeks.
The Biden admin is going to get dragged through the CT system. They will have to explain why the USPS workers are exempt when they wish to impose this on private employers. Next, what is magic about 100 workers in relation to the virus? Why 100? Is that 100 in a single location? What if they are disbursed in more than one place? How does teleworking fit in?
Many ways to destroy this farce in CT. Oh, and be sure to preserve all communication among and within the Fed govt, private sector businesses, unions, academics for review by Plaintiff before the depositions.

Well said; there must be an endpoint to any emergency, and never create inequality.
