The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration is withdrawing the vaccination and testing emergency temporary standard issued on Nov. 5, 2021, to protect unvaccinated employees of large employers with 100 or more employees from workplace exposure to coronavirus. The withdrawal is effective January 26, 2022.
Although OSHA is withdrawing the vaccination and testing ETS as an enforceable emergency temporary standard, the agency is not withdrawing the ETS as a proposed rule. The agency is prioritizing its resources to focus on finalizing a permanent COVID-19 Healthcare Standard.
OSHA strongly encourages vaccination of workers against the continuing dangers posed by COVID-19 in the workplace.
This happened Tuesday, and took effect yesterday. It’s important, yes, but I don’t think it qualifies as “BREAKING NEWS” on Thursday. Just sayin’ :-)
Well, it’s almost Thursday. Hang me for three minutes :-)
The “continuing danger” in the workplace is senior management trying to force unwanted and potentially dangerous medical treatments on their employees.
OBTW, thank you for posting this. It certainly -is- important, and on a personal level, it happens to directly affect me through my employer.
Satan lost this round
Especially experimental ones....which all the covid shots are. And there’s no legal recourse if something goes wrong because people signed on the dotted line.
Yes. Many more rounds for us yet to win before this battle is won, and then more battles before the war is won.
Every round won is important.
Correct
Meh. All they did was pull the temporary rule. The same one that the courts tossed. The permanent rule is still pending.
Maybe they can pull the mandate off the military next.
“Maybe they can pull the mandate off the military next.”
Why, all the smart ones have been forced out and the useful idiots have complied by getting the poison placebo.
TOO DAMNED BAD! You're a Justice of The Supreme Court of The United States, not a Senior Editor cranking out Opinion pieces for the bloody New York Times! You don't get to rule on the basis of your personal notions about whether these Federal mandates work or not; you are constrained morally and ethically to rule on the basis of Law as to whether they are LEGAL, or not! And they AREN'T; they amount to Federal overreach, and usurpation of separate powers that remain with the several States, and with The People.
If that's got you boo-hooing in your beer; LEAVE! It's patently obvious, anyway, that you owe your position to the Peter Principle, and the phenomenon of meritless advancement.
Yep, the jab that can't stop infection or sickness of the Omicron variant will magically end the pandemic if everyone gets it. $scinece!
Funny, about a week or so ago, CT dropped the jab or mask and test mandate for state employees. Strange.
damage done..
Federal civilian mandate is crumbling as well; I got an email this morning from the head of my organization stating that all disciplinary actions are on hold for those not in compliance, and that those seeking exemptions are not required to provide any more information or take any additional steps or actions related to their requests at this time. Many of us submitted exemptions months ago, with no word back on status for any of us. They were just keeping us in limbo, but for now it seems we need not worry... with the pandemic essentially over I think all the mandates will wither on the vine.
The scared or coerced most of the nation into getting the shots. They sowed a divide and radicalized a segment of people who went as far as to alienate people who were on their side. Mission accomplished.
