VIDEO: Shocking Ruling from Court of Appeals on Vaccine Mandates

The legal saga over President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for all employers with 100 or more workers takes another turn contractors need to know about. In this latest five-minute Legal Insights video chat with WC, Trent Cotney, CEO of Cotney Attorneys & Consultants discusses the surprise ruling from the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals and what it means for contractors that need to prepare for an enforcement period scheduled to begin in early 2022.

OSHA announced it will exercise enforcement discretion with respect to the compliance dates of the ETS.
