On January 13, 2022, The U.S. Supreme Court ruled to stay the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) vaccination and testing emergency temporary standard (ETS). It has been back and forth in litigation since November 5, 2021.
The Supreme Court stated that OSHA wasn’t given the power to regulate public health more broadly than occupational dangers. The ETS represents a “significant encroachment into the lives – and health – of a vast number of employees.”
With the stay, employers with 100 or more employees are not required to comply with the ETS at this time. Since the case has been sent back to the 6th Circuit, employers will need to continue to monitor the legal developments as they change.
