WA EX:
The Occupational Health and Safety Administration is likely to face difficulty enforcing President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate and may have to rely on publicly shaming companies, a tactic popularized during the Obama era.
Biden called on OSHA last week to develop an Emergency Temporary Standard that would require employees at companies with 100 or more workers to be vaccinated or be tested once a week. Employers could face fines up to $14,000 per violation.
“The mandate affects somewhere between 80 million and 100 million workers, and just because of the large numbers of employers, that would make enforcement a bit tricky,” said Ian Carleton Schaefer, chairman of New York employment and labor law at the law firm Loeb and Loeb.
OSHA traditionally relies on complaints filed by employees in determining which companies to inspect. However, OHSA usually will not investigate until multiple complaints are filed.
“One big challenge for enforcing OSHA mandates is the fact that OSHA as an agency is historically very underfunded and very understaffed,” said Jennifer Shinall, a professor of law at Vanderbilt University.
Shinall also noted that employees can only file complaints under OSHA. They cannot file lawsuits against employers for violating OSHA rules, as they can under many other federal laws. more
No worries, the Karenstasi is on the job!
More Washington wa$te as they $tuggle to kill our freedoms. Be sure to than a democrat for burning more of our dollars.

How the fuck is it “temporary” if getting the shot isn’t something that can be undone? Sounds pretty fucking PERMANENT to me.
Deplorable 2nd Class

“More Washington wa$te as they $tuggle to kill our freedoms.”
Nah. Not trying to kill your “freedoms” any more.
We’ve decided to just kill YOU.
…that’s why the illegals are unvaxxed.
They are used to living in a dictatorship and know their place.
So they are here to REPLACE you.
We DO kind of enjoy watching you flip and flop like a fish on land, turning from one institution we’ve taken over to another like ANY of them are going to help you, all the while bragging about the guns you have that we made you too scared to use, but ultimately?
We just want you GONE.
The inbreeds will NEVER challenge our authority.
And we will enjoy that very much.
So go back to your holes, losers, until we get you fired and take them from you. It won’t be long now…
The problem for millions of us is this: Yes OSHA might have trouble enforcing the mandate, for the companies who refuse to go along. But, the company I work for will institute it the second it goes in to effect. They are already repeating line for line everything the CDC puts out. They’re even saying, “Let’s get ahead of president Biden’s mandate and get everyone vaccinated right now.” And before someone replies with “well just quit and look for another job.” let me explain. I’m 62 years old, raising our three grandkids (14, 12, and 11). I live in a rural area, so another job would mean uprooting the entire family and moving, and that’s IF some company out there is willing to hire a 62 year old.
NCO77 – Your situation is exactly what the Left is banking on. People in situations where they just cannot stand up and quit no matter how much they are against what is being shoved down their throat. They know that there are a lot of folks in your situation who get to choose between obeying the unconstitutional orders or losing everything and maybe going hungry. This nothing but evil.
Praying for you and yours.
NCO77, you can’t support your grandkids if you are dead.
Rely on public shaming of companies that don’t go with the extortion?
I think they are more likely to find that the companies that are shamed are the ones that submit to Draco’s pronouncement.
And isn’t it funny that the people who wanted to do away with the concept of “shaming” are the ones who now want to use shaming?
