Biden administration's OSHA suspends enforcement of vaccine mandate The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has suspended the implementation and enforcement of President Joe Biden's vaccine mandate for private employers, following a federal court order to do so.
The agency announced Wednesday that it will comply with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit order to "take no steps to implement or enforce" the vaccine mandate "until further court order."
"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.
The announcement comes after a Nov. 12 ruling from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals staying implementation and enforcement of Biden's vaccine mandate until there is a final ruling on its legality.
The mandate, known as the COVID-19 Vaccination and Testing Emergency Temporary Standard, requires employers that have 100 or more employees to have each of their workers vaccinated against COVID-19 or tested regularly for the virus. Employers that do not comply could face nearly $14,000 in penalties per violation. ...............
