OSHA has ‘suspended activities’ related to Biden’s vaccine mandate

Cites adverse court ruling, signals long fight ahead

By Tom Howell Jr. - The Washington Times - Updated: 5:24 p.m. on Wednesday, November 17, 2021

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration suspended work on President Biden’s vaccine mandate after a federal appeals court hit pause on rules that would force companies with 100 or more employees to require COVID-19 vaccinations or regular testing for coronavirus infection.

OSHA said the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision to stay the mandate forced its hand but that the fight over Mr. Biden’s rule, or emergency temporary standard (ETS), isn’t over.

“While OSHA remains confident in its authority to protect workers in emergencies, OSHA has suspended activities related to the implementation and enforcement of the ETS pending future developments in the litigation,” the agency said on its website.

The 5th Circuit froze the mandate late Friday, citing “a multitude of reasons” to believe that a legal challenge is “likely to succeed on the merits.” OSHA’s decision to stop its work went largely unnoticed until Wednesday.

The suspension was the latest reminder of the fault lines around Mr. Biden’s decision to reach into the private sector and require big employers to ensure that their workers are vaccinated by Jan. 4 or are tested for the coronavirus at least once a week.

The regulation has sparked dozens of lawsuits and pushback from business groups, which say they don’t want to wrangle with their employees on the cusp of the holiday season and can’t afford to lose workers in a tight labor market.

Employers aren’t required to develop a roster of vaccinated and unvaccinated employees until early December, and the testing rules don’t kick in until the new year. Even so, challengers celebrated OSHA’s suspension as a sign that the mandate is teetering and they should accelerate their efforts as the fight pivots to the 6th U.S. Court of Appeals.

“While I am pleased with the actions taken by the court and that OSHA has subsequently suspended President Biden’s unconstitutional vaccine mandate for now, I will continue fighting to put a full stop to his efforts to fire Americans for choosing to not get the vaccine,” said Sen. Roger Marshall, Kansas Republican. “Joe Biden’s mandate is a slap in the face to so many people, including our essential workers, who answered the call last year. These are real people working to feed their families and pay their mortgages.”

Good news but they won't give up that easily. They will regroup and push even harder.

Good to know. Unfortunately, I'm already on day two of depleting savings. If I'm brought back on, it'll probably be sometime after a "final" ruling.

Can employers be sued if mandates are declared unconstitutional?

I suspect they can. In my case, I'm not an "employee" but a 1099 contractor. So, I'm simply "relieved of duty" -- not fired. I still have access to the company network via VPN, my company email/chat still works, etc, but after this past Monday, I can't work or bill hours. Just depleting savings at this point.

I think they mean if your employer says they will fire you if you get the vax, and you comply and get injured from the vax, you can sue them - but not the vaccine manufacturers, they still 'enjoy' protection.

Ah, gotcha. I was thinking of the job-loss angle. Like can one sue for job loss via vax like one might sue for job loss via "ageism" or whatever.

At the end of the day though...

I know some people are trying for wrongful termination suits when there is no government mandate.

But what works best is when enough employees refuse that they can't afford to go through with it.

Anyone get the feeling 1 week from christmas congress will be held hostage unless mandate funding passes?
