States and businesses that oppose the Biden admin.'s Covid requirements for larger employers are asking the Supreme Court to put the rules back on hold.
. Workers who haven't received vaccinations must be required to wear a mask and show a negative Covid test result at least once a week.
By a 2-1 vote, the court said OSHA had the legal authority to issue the directive, calling it"an important step in curtailing the transmission of a deadly virus that has killed over 800,000 people in the United States, brought our health care system to its knees, and cost hundreds of thousands of workers their jobs.
OSHA said it will not issue any citations for non-compliance with the Covid rules before Jan. 10 or penalties for failure to comply with the testing requirements before Feb. 9"so long as an employer is exercising reasonable, good faith efforts to come into compliance with the standard." On Monday, several organizations and states opposed to the requirement asked the Supreme Court to reimpose the stay. Many companies"will permanently lose clients and reputation as a result of losing workers who immediately quit and join smaller companies rather than be vaccinated or tested weekly," said one of their filings seeking an emergency halt to enforcement.
