Under the new rules, businesses with 100 employees or more are required to develop a mandatory vaccination and testing policy within 30 days.
The Department of Labor announced on Thursday that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration will issue an emergency temporary standard from Friday, mandating businesses with 100 employees or more to develop a vaccination and testing policy within 30 days. Businesses will not have to provide the testing but employees must get tested.
If companies fail to enforce the policy before January 4, they will face a fine of up to $14,000 per violation.The administration said more than 80 million Americans will be impacted by the new rule.and Florida State Attorney General Ashley Moody announced in a press conference that they intended to bring an injunction against the federal government.
"We started with 15 days to slow the spread and now it's get jabbed or lose your job," DeSantis said. Moody said in the conference that in the history of the U.S., a vaccine mandate was"unprecedented,""breath-taking" and"authoritarian.""Just months ago, this is an administration that said that it was not the role of the government to enact such a sweeping policy. Traditionally the health and welfare of its people has been reserved to the states, but not under this administration.
"As soon as this rule is published, we'll be in court. We've read what has been put forth in the public, you've seen what it takes to do a crafty workaround and we won't stand for it. OSHA has never used its authority like this, and it's absurd."
