Biden administration withdraws Covid vaccine mandate for businesses after losing Supreme Court case Workplace safety regulator OSHA said it is pulling the vaccine and testing rules for businesses effective Wednesday.

“With this mandate, what we really were voicing concerns about were the unintended consequences associated with it,” said Wendy Block of Listen to MI Business. “Just the logistical challenges that went along with this. The challenges that convincing vaccine-hesitant or vaccine-resistant employees to get vaccinated and this very real concern about how employees in this labor market could very well quit their jobs.”

Supreme Court blocks vaccine mandate for large businesses, not healthcare workers In a 6-3 ruling, the conservative majority court says the president lacks the unilateral power to impose this mandate and that OSHA does not have the authority to enforce it.

“This ruling is a huge sigh of relief for many Michigan businesses that were on edge about this unprecedented attack on employer rights and still very uncertain about how they would or could implement the sweeping vaccine mandate.”
