14042 and 14043, for contractors and federal employees, respectively. Both signed on September 9th and published on September 14th. Multiple sources initially said “lawsuits can’t start until the orders are actually signed.” When they were published, crickets.

OSHA said to expect the ETS to be effective immediately upon release — so, no period for employers to get into compliance during which lawsuits might tie up the whole mess, companies are supposed to be getting compliant NOW to be ready whatever day this garbage is published — but even though companies are expected to be compliant in advance, for some reason no legal challenges can happen in advance. The day it’s published will likely be the day the unvaccinated lose their livelihoods. And still we’re told there’s some reason that the Republicans can’t actually do anything except blow smoke.
