Welcome to the Community About Nothing, and Yet Everything.
Time to dust off that degree in safety....
Frankly, I think the "vaccine or test" mandates as written are redundant. No, I do not favor this crap, but they could have saved a lot of court costs by just using the OSH Act General Duty Clause (quoted here for your convenience):
"29 USC 654
(a) Each employer --
(1) shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees;
(2) shall comply with occupational safety and health standards promulgated this Act.
(b) Each employee shall comply with occupational safety and health standards and all rules, regulations, and orders issued pursuant to this Act which are applicable to his own actions and conduct."
Instead of trying to write new law, they could have simply declared that CoV2 is a "recognized hazard". At that point, it is up to each employer to mitigate that hazard. Slippery slope here. If this is done, then what's next? Flu? Will we be plugging up the courts with liability cases? Personal injury lawyers must be salivating...
Hate to say it, but the gubmint wins this one by moving the goalpost. Seriously, I HATE to say it because Pandora's Box is opened again.
Law of Unintended Consequences...again. Government could screw up a one car funeral.

Why do I like this one? I have a primary residence on the Mountain of Right.
Of you who read my previous post, how many of you caught the quote I stole from a movie? Can you name the movie and who said it?
Bet you didn’t know there would be a test…..
So, I have completed 4 of 6 chemo infusions, and I have to say that the last one seems to have caused almost no side effects that cannot be otherwise explained by the disease itself. I remain exhausted all the time, and I go home at the end of the workday positively depleted. That, however, seems to be due to the anemia that somewhat existed before chemo started but certainly seems to have been exacerbated by it.
I presently sit at a 40% disability rating with the Veterans Administration with some big stuff pending. I am awaiting a decision on my hearing loss and the PTSD/Depression. The cancer aspect takes a step forward with an exam by a VA contracted provider who will provide a recommendation as to the service connection to the cancer. If it goes my way and I get to 100%, then as soon as the first check hits the bank, I’m retired. While this exam is scheduled for Monday, I have no assurance that a VA determination will be quickly forthcoming. Patience is the key.
My spirits ...
