PODCAST: Appeals Court Upholds Vaccine Mandate

In a surprise move, the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling that reauthorizes the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OHSA) enforcement of the Biden administration's COVID-19 vaccine mandate for large employers.

The court lifted a stay on the vaccine rule on Dec. 17. The rule was temporarily blocked on Nov. 7 by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Lawsuits against the rule have claimed it to be overreach by President Joe Biden, specifically against the emergency temporary standard (ETS) created by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OHSA) to enforce it.
