Florida will consider removing itself from OSHA, banning employer vaccine mandates in special legislative session
Orlando weekly ^

Posted on 11/08/2021 3:18:33 PM PST by ameribbean expat

The proposals, according to summaries issued by the House and Senate, include ensuring workers can receive exemptions from employer-required vaccinations; preventing government employers from requiring workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19; reinforcing the state’s so-called “Parents Bill of Rights” law to shield schoolchildren from mask and vaccination mandates; moving toward withdrawing from federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration oversight; and prohibiting the state surgeon general from forcing people to be vaccinated.

It's not the heat but the humidity.

I've traveled their a lot and have been all over the state. I don't like
Jacksonville, Tampa Bay, or Miami. I do like Ft. Myers, Naples, and especially the Panhandle. That's probably where I would move and buy me a Grady-White.

-- if businesses don't keep their employees safe they will be sued to high heaven when employees get hurt!!! --

Nope. State workers comp law precludes that. Hurt on the job? Company pays the medical bills, no questions asked. In exchange, as a matter of law, injured employee may not sue. There ware ways to pierce that, but takes nearly criminal misconduct on the part of the employer.

Florida to consider withdrawing from OSHA during special legislative session.

Even better than nullification would be kicking federal agents out of your state.

The supremacy clause only works for laws within the confines set by the constitution. Outside those boundaries, as most things out of CD are these days, the 10th takes over. Of course, that doesn’t preclude demo-commie so-called ‘judges’ from ignoring it. But that does work to wake up more somnambulists among the citizenry as to what is going on.

"No state leaves OSHA without OSHA agreement and approval to do so."

Just make OSHA an offer they can't refuse.

The truth is, even those “old dogs” have given in to peaceful slavery.


Remember our Founding Fathers. They were losing badly, right up to the day they started winning.

I like that idea. Just tell the Feds that we are not obeying your dictates. What are they going to do, invade?

That's the deal.

The first and main thing is to refuse all federal money for state and local. That money is the slave master.

I’ve had offers from people in South Dakota, Colorado and Utah to resettle in their states. Florida is much too hot for me, but, if that’s the only place to find work, I’ll consider it too.

Does OSHA have it’s own special police force to make sure that “No state leaves OSHA without OSHA agreement and approval to do so”?

Not that I know of. There may be an occassional visit to make sure the state inspectors are competent, but i don;t think even THAT is done.

States and feds mostly cooperate to control the public, and workplace safety is one of those places where government interests tend to align without much contention.

It's past time for a State to really pick a fight with the Federal government.

The 10th Amendment says they can.

And the Supremacy Clause says quite the opposite, I'm afraid. So, constitutionally-speaking, this is by no means as clear cut as some might think.

The Supremacy Clause was contained within the Constitution itself (Article IV, Paragraph 2). The 10th Amendment did what amendments were supposed to do; amend sections and/or pieces of the Constitution. So technically, the argument could be made that 10th Amendment supersedes Article IV, Paragraph 2.

OSHA owes its existence to an interpretation of the Commerce Clause that goes way beyond its actual intent. Sooner or later there is going to be a challenge to the abuse of said clause that will stick.
