The mandate dictates that workers at companies with 100 or more employees must get vaccinated by January 4 or get tested at least once weekly.
In the letter to Biden, the top state government lawyers argued that the agency can regulate only health risks that are specific to jobs—not ones that are in the world generally. Seema Nanda, the top legal official for the U.S. Department of Labor, which includes OSHA, says established legal precedent allows rules that keep workplaces safe and that those rules pre-empt state laws.
Arkansas has adopted a law creating a vaccine-mandate exemption for workers who can prove they have COVID-19 antibodies, although a broader measure banning employers from asking about vaccination status failed in the Legislature. The OSHA rule does include a religious exemption, as well as one for people who work exclusively outdoors or away from others—such as from home.
"Right now, there are Nebraskans who are losing their jobs over vaccine mandates," his office said in apost Thursday."Until more Senators step up, these people who are hurting won't get the help they need."
