US Supreme Court blocks Biden admin.'s rule requiring larger businesses to ensure that workers receive the Covid vaccine or wear masks and get tested on a weekly basis.
requiring larger businesses to ensure that workers are vaccinated against Covid-19 or wear masks and get tested weekly.requiring vaccinations for an estimated 20 million health care workers can be enforced., which the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, announced last fall, required companies with 100 or more employees to ensure that their workers either get vaccinated or wear masks and show negative Covid test results at least once a week.
"Although Congress has indisputably given OSHA the power to regulate occupational dangers, it has not given that agency the power to regulate public health more broadly," the conservative justices wrote in an unsigned opinion."Requiring the vaccination of 84 million Americans, selected simply because they work for employers with more than 100 employees, certainly falls in the latter category.
In a statement released later in the day, President Joe Biden celebrated the verdict in the health care worker case as one that would"save lives," but he said he was disappointed that the broader workplace mandate was struck down. The workplace rule, which was announced in November, was immediately challenged by a group of businesses and Republican states that said the government lacked the power to issue such a sweeping mandate. Lower courts initially blocked the requirement, but a later ruling allowed it to go into effect.
