On Nov. 16, 2021, the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced it is suspending all implementation and enforcement efforts related to the Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) on mandatory COVID-19 vaccination and testing in the workplace. The announcement follows the Nov. 12, 2021 order from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals staying enforcement of the ETS pending a final ruling on its legality. OSHA intends to resume implementation and enforcement of the ETS following litigation, if permitted. This newly stated position immediately impacts employers with 100 or more employees who are not federal contractors or otherwise subject to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ guidance. Such employers can breathe easier, as they are no longer faced with Dec. 5, 2021 and Jan. 4, 2022 compliance deadlines associated with implementing a vaccine mandate or weekly testing program.

JOE BLOW: FULL SPEED AHEAD!
1 battle won, the war goes on
Yep.
bet many people surrendered and took a jab in recent weeks thinking they would need it by early dec to keep working. hope I am wrong. either wayt his is pure evil to be pushing this in the public.
The woke company I work for can pound sand and expect a lawsuit if they continue to push this.
Is there any other source than this?
I would think such an announcement would be at least covered by Fox or Newsmax or BrietBaeir.
All I see it mentioned is on this law blog and other law blogs referencing it.
I would like to know when, exactly, the 6th Circuit Court is expected to make their decision.
The OSHA website doesn’t mention this suspension at the moment. Fake news?
My company is still lock-stepping us over the Dec 08 (now Jan 04, now ????) cliff with no official change in due dates or records. Yet.
HR is the sole arbiter for approving religion exemption “requests”.
The mandates have lost their momentum.
Doesn’t this make 2 times Brandon has ordered OSHA to begin enforcement of these dangersous jabs?
And yet, they have not been able to do it.
Thanks. For some reason, they didn’t put that notice on either their front page nor the overall coronavirus page.
What purpose is served by a vaccine that doesn’t work after a few months?
We shall see if there is others reporting this.
