Federal government said they would not pay for tests so each person will have to pay for their own tests. If I have a company and this is put out by Biden, I am not paying for hundreds of tests every week....companies will not be paying for testing if someone chooses not to get vaxxed.
Well the company can ensure your physical fitness to perform your duties. Some jobs do have routine physical exams. I was personally legally advised that we can send employees home who are displaying symptoms associated with Covid and their return would be a time thing or a negative Covid test. So disease policy is already in the workplace. I believe that was under ADA emergency guidance- it’s been a while since this started. After this rule, testing for Covid or proof of vaccination will be required in many workplaces. Like I said I difference between a rule or law in a court. I’m not sure we will ever actually see a fine but yes, there is always appeals to fines and sanctions from the government so I would expect no difference. Well Delta or United one of them just recently announced all unvaccinated employees will be put on unpaid leave next month - and those are persons with bona fide exemptions. So as far as who can and cannot work that’s much more strict than a testing alternative. So, again you state the vaccine cannot be mandated by the government and I contend, the legal argument is it’s not. Vaccination is an alternative to a testing mandate - which is certainly allowed. I can see the argument that the rule is impossible to implement or too costly, etc. There in my opinion is where the weakness is and where I think you have a point about subverting the rule making process. Hey, I can go with this stuff all day but I know you as a being thoughtful. Let’s just disagree on this.
This Biden directive is tantamount to a dictatorship. He does not have the authority that he claims he has, but we may let him get away with it, just as he has slithered through on a host of other orders, just as Barack Hussein did before him. America is falling apart and these Democrats need to be removed electorally in 2022 and 2024.
He talks down to Americans. He is one of the most anti-American individuals in history and now solidifies his position as the absolute worst president in the country's history.
Well I am enjoying the rational intelligent discussion so I dont care if we go all day . A testing mandate is not what this is being pushed as....a vaccine madate or test weekly at your own cost. But again Walmart or UNited making the decision is within their power. The federal government is asking them to do something they never agreed to do. Walmart for example does not require 100% employees get vaccinated and neither does CVS. They may punt and say big brother said so... sorry. if Walmart was fine with 15% of their employees not getting vaccinated and they put in rules in place for all employees they may suddenly be quite upset that now they are being fined millions of dollars on something they had already taken care of themselves. So the lawsuits might be from large companies because THEY are having to pay the fines. If Walmart, United, Google and Apple join together.... this Emergency Order will have to be changed, improved or scrapped.
