Worried that President Joe Biden’s Covid vaccine mandate for private companies could cause a mass exodus of employees, business groups are pleading with the White House to delay the rule until after the holiday season.
White House officials at the Office of Management and Budget held dozens of meetings with labor unions, industry lobbyists and private individuals last week as the administration conducts its final review of the mandate, which will require businesses with 100 or more employees to ensure they are vaccinated against Covid or tested weekly for the virus. It is estimated to cover roughly two-thirds of the private sector workforce.
OMB officials have several meetings lined up Monday and Tuesday with groups representing dentists, trucking companies, staffing companies and realtors, among others.
The American Trucking Associations, which will meet with the OMB on Tuesday, warned the administration last week that many drivers will likely quit rather than get vaccinated, further disrupting the national supply chain at time when the industry is already short 80,000 drivers.
The trucking association estimates companies covered by the mandate could lose 37% of drivers through retirements, resignations and workers switching to smaller companies not covered by the requirements.
“Now placing vaccination mandates on employers, which in turn force employees to be vaccinated, will create a workforce crisis for our industry and the communities, families and businesses we serve,” Chris Spear, the association’s president and CEO, wrote in a letter to the OMB last Thursday.

Better yet...just ignore it.
I hope lots go Galt. Really Galt.
The businesses need more time to hire replacements and train them.
Please...could you just wait a couple of months before putting us in the camps Mein Fuhrer...we have high holidays to celebrate you know....
Oh well, this is the perfect way to insure they WILL do it, then
They keep asking the wrong question. The better question is by what constitutional authority does DC think they can tell private business to make private citizens do this?
Too late!!!
The Deep State has spoken.
So mote it be.
“... many drivers will likely quit rather than get vaccinated, further disrupting the national supply chain at time when the industry is already short 80,000 drivers.”
and what happens when ‘many’ drivers catch the virus and can’t work?
Of that can be fine then we know, which we already do anyway, that C19 is a super farce.
It must not be an urgent necessity.
How do you delay a deadly man made paid for by the US and outsourced to a Chinese lab virus unless the entire thing (just like the jabs) are all man made Bull$%^&!
What happens when many drivers have side effects from the vaccine and cannot drive?
The American Trucking Associations has a Hell of a lot more Power than they think. Immediately STOP All Trucking Services to and from Virginia, DC, Maryland,New York and watch what happens.
I don’t think he is intending to follow through. It’s a bluff. He doesn’t think it will pass Constitutional challenge. Meanwhile private industry and state gov are doing his bidding.
So if Biden tells businesses that 50% of employees must be non Caucasian, will they similarly comply? When do people stand up to tyrannical government?
When Biden tries to tell grocery stores that their customers must be vaccinated, too.
That will start the shooting war. The government starving out the people would be a siege war that the 2nd amendment was designed to prevent.

Exactly. Put the onus on the enemy to enforce an illegal mandate.
I imagine they will shut down the internet before prohibiting unvaxxed to buy groceries. Cuts down on the ability to coordinate.
