SCOTUS OSHA vax decision DOES NOT liberate ANY Fed Contractor Corporations

Excerpt from an email from our corporate HQ today ...

The regulation and court ruling do not apply to [this corporation]. I realize this may be confusing, but as a federal contractor, [this corporation] is subject to one of the administration’s other mandates specific to federal contractors issued on Sept. 9. This is a different requirement than the one from OSHA.

[Westbrook]

Tyranny!

Still fighting a rearguard action in an already lost battle huh?

Westbrook, I am looking at the E-mail from my company and it matches EXACTLY!!!!

We need to talk via PM, is this some sort of “Form letter” or do we work for the same company.

[TalonDJ]

They’re right. It was a DIFFERENT regulation that they used to mandate vax for federal contractors. However a DIFFERENT court case has that one suspended as well.

[Sacajaweau]

I tried to point that out yesterday. The usual Dem “one piece at a time” approach. Has that been questioned?

[Wuli]

Yes.

Like the CMS (Medicare/Medicaid agency) mandate, the separate “federal contractor” mandate is tied to controls on the spending of federal money (Medicare/Medicaid or in the other case just a company with a federal contract). Unlike OSHA, which crosses all industries universally, the CMS and federal contractor rulings are limited to the “employer” scope defined by the receipt of federal funds.

Those who opposed the new deal reach of the regulatory state understood clearly how “federal funding” was a giant foot in the door of “federal regulation”.

That’s what I figured.

Tentacles everywhere.

Yes...that was a couple of months ago I thought!

I thought that court decision was struck down by yet another court which upholds the original mandate.

No, the stay put in place for EO 14020 from the case in Georgia is still in affect nationwide and the government has suspended the enforcement of it until it’s resolved at SCOTUS.

Here is the gov’s list of federal contractors. Huge!

Lots of luck getting people to work on your federal contract.

Yep..there are already clauses in the FAR and DFAR regs and have been flowed down on the majority of contracts awarded over the last couple months.

[kosciusko51]

And that doesn’t include the subcontractors to the federal contractor, or companies involved with Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grants, both which are required to follow the Fed mandate.

[matt04]

Several states have sued already. Not sure of the status but they are on going.

[Don Corleone]

It ain’t over till Kate Smith sings kiddies.

[Celtic Conservative]

Basically, anybody who takes the king’s shilling is subject to it.
