On Nov. 4, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced an emergency temporary standard (ETS) directing larger employers to take steps to keep their workplaces safe from COVID-19 by either requiring vaccinations or weekly testing and masks for those who are not vaccinated.
This effort has been blocked, at least temporarily, and is now being considered by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. For the moment, OSHA has suspended implementation and enforcement of the requirements pending future developments in the litigation.

Contrary to what its critics are labeling it, the OSHA standard does not require that anyone get vaccinated. Large and medium-size employers (it covers only those with 100 or more workers) have the option to require unvaccinated workers to wear a mask on the job and test negative for COVID-19 at least weekly. They can also require those workers to do their jobs exclusively from home. Or the employer—not OSHA—can insist their workers get vaccinated.

Of course...I didn’t mention it, but the mandate was overturned. The principle is the same, though, IMO.
