The Biden administration will give employers additional time to abide by a federal requirement that workers get vaccinated against COVID-19 or be subject to testing after a federal court reinstated the rule.
"The record establishes that Covid-19 has continued to spread, mutate, kill and block the safe return of American workers to their jobs," wrote Judge Jane B. Stranch."To protect workers, OSHA can and must be able to respond to dangers as they evolve."
In the Biden mandate — which would affect 80 million individuals — private business that employed at least 100 people were to have ascertained the vaccination status of all workers and mandated that unvaccinated staffers wear face coverings by a December 6 deadline. Several GOP-led states have challenged the vaccine rule — arguing that it it exceeds the authority of OSHA — but the court on Friday disputed that argument.
