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.

The federal contractor order has been enjoined: https://www.natlawreview.com/article/vaccine-mandate-federal-contractors-enjoined-nationwide. Tell your HR to GTH. I work for very woke, progressive company that takes federal contracts. They had a vaccine mandate but suspended it the minute it was enjoined. There is no federal contract vaccine mandate right now.

Once again, one group has constitutional rights and all the rest don’t

[fuzzylogic]

OSHA is government. SCOTUS declared GOVERNMENT can’t issue such mandates on corps. Any other government attempt is equally unconstitutional.

[arthurus]

If that mandate gets past Governor DeSantis then I am out of a job.

[for-q-clinton]

Actually, the contractors have been exempted already by other court rulings.

[MayflowerMadam]

If the Fed Contractor Corporations aren’t health related, then there should be no problem.

[kvanbrunt2]

I heard GE cancelled all of the mandates.

[Robert A Cook PE]

And that is the reply I expect back from my company too. They could fight it, but they are scared of their shadows, scared of making waves and ripples.
