The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is about to require 80 million working Americans to get vaccinated. You may be among them.
There’s just one catch: OSHA lacks the legal authority to impose a vaccine mandate.
Declaring that his patience was “wearing thin” with unvaccinated Americans, President Joe Biden on Sept. 9 announced that OSHA would require companies with at least 100 employees to mandate that workers either get vaccinated or submit to weekly COVID-19 tests.
OSHA sent a draft mandate to the White House on Oct. 8. Once the White House completes its review, OSHA will issue the order.
And then get sued.

*PING*
No, OSHA does not have the authority to mandate experimental injections.
But will any court tell them that?
So far, the Supreme Chickens are not.
“OSHA sent a draft mandate to the White House on Oct. 8. Once the White House completes its review, OSHA will issue the order.”
Circle-jerk.
Missing the point AGAIN, there Heritage Foundation.
The Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land gave OSHA NO AUTHORITY whatsoever. OSHA and all the other unconstitutional Agencies need to be blown up.
Sounds like the jab itself.
We’re well past the point where pointing out that what they’re doing is illegal is productive. They know, they don’t care, and they’re not going to police themselves.
Yup.
“It’s tyranny, sure, but [shrug], it seems like a good idea. I mean, our intentions are good, so ...”
This will come in handy in the class action suit when employers find out that Joe pooped in THEIR pants
I'm personally with Scalia and his dissent in Mistretta - the whole idea of turning these agencies into a "junior-varsity Congress" needs to go.
The Supremes have shot down suits asking for preliminary injunctions. 3 would have granted; two at least have given reasons for saying “no” which weren’t automatic giveaways that they’d vote the same way in a suit which came before them in an ordinary way.
I don’t expect them to stand for liberty.
All three of the Trump appointments have been disappointments.
I am not convinced that the government sincerely believes it is pushing vaccines for the good of its victims, but this quote comes closest to your "our intentions were good" line.
Yes. Texas and 5th circuit will. Some others won’t.
The SC upheld the APA against Trump so they should against Biden too.
And tomorrow the sun rises in the West.
Seems OSHA has utterly invalidated their opinions/rules on any vaccinations, given that they explicitly do not require employers to report adverse effects consequential to mandated vaccination. Admittedly a political move, as they declare the decision is based on “wanting to maximize vaccination rates”. So much for SCIENCE!.
This is how the much maligned "shadow" docket works. A majority would prefer apparently to get cases the usual way - appeal after a full lower court and appellate court record is developed. Then, instead of figuring it all out for themselves they get to choose from already well written arguments. It avoids criticism by keeping them between the left and right rails of accepted jurisprudence.
None of this really matters - because these actions have prompted many companies, including the one I work for, to start firing people solely because they haven’t been vaccinated. It is no longer an illegal government action. Who do I sue to get my job back?
Granting temporary injunctions would have put the vaccine mandates on hold until the cases can be heard. People can get the shots later. However, once vaccinated the act is done and people can’t get unvaccinated.
Facts (”reality”) is changeable in a heartbeat. Truth doesn’t change.
The TRUTH is the Constitution trumps Congress and the Supreme Court. That truth doesn’t change.
The FACT is for many decades the Left has ignored the truth about constitutional supremacy. That fact can and should be changed and reversed in many ways.
The QUESTION is will Patriots continue to acquiesce to the Left’s constant illegal acts.
I’ll tell you this - beginning around 1900, the Left began to actively undermine the Constitution and our Free Constitutional Republic without a peep from the Right. Now the Right calls Leftist treason “reality” that cannot change even though since 1900 the Left was changing that reality at breakneck speed.
The Right is right where the Left want them when the Right surrenders to their tyranny by calling that tyranny “unchangeable reality”.
Sue your company.
