Today, the Supreme Court blocked the Administration’s COVID-19 vaccine-or-test mandate for workers at large private businesses. The mandate required that workers at businesses with 100 or more employees must get vaccinated or submit a negative COVID test weekly to enter the workplace. It also required unvaccinated workers to wear masks indoors at work. Click here to read the opinion.

This action by the Supreme Court puts the “stay” of the rule originally lifted by the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit back in place. While this action returns the vaccine mandate legal challenges to lower courts, the ruling suggests that the Supreme Court is likely to rule against the business rule if the case reaches the court again.

Throughout the legal challenges, MHI has been working with a diverse group of associations and businesses calling on OSHA to make immediate changes to the mandate. Click here to read the letter.
