Ten bucks says this is all about major U.S. corporations raining hell down on the phone lines of the White House and Congress, detailing the calamity they are facing even now, with no OSHA mandate in place in hiring staff.
Atlas is Shrugging.
Maybe, but there’s an alternative that’s also possible.
Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve had two large, corporate (and largely Dem leaning) customers trying to modify contracts to require vendors (like us) to have mandatory vaccine policies in place, even if no work is to be performed on the customer’s premises. So far, these are existing contracts, so we’ve been able to say “yeah, no, not doing that”.
I’m sure that the next new contracts with these companies will have those provisions in place though.
So this is my (somewhat conspiratorial) theory: the Biden administration is leaning on their corporate sponsors to be the “market drivers” to move their preferred policies without having to take the heat directly with OSHA. There are plenty of favors that can be extended in exchange, and this lines up with what a lot of these mega corps want to do anyway.
It Was A Con – White House Has No Idea When, or Even If, OSHA Will Ever Provide Rules to Support Legally Enforceable Worker Vaccine Mandate..
