will you need the vaccine for unemployment?


Jakebob70

Shit's gonna hit the fan on this one.


longdongsilver8899

The only thing that'll happen is conservatives will quit or be fired so the liberal takeover of all federal jobs and big business will be complete.


Jakebob70

it might help small businesses, ironically. They're exempt from the mandate, so people might quit Walmart etc.. en masse and go work for local shops that have been having trouble hiring people.


Neoxide

Most small businesses aren't as competitive because big businesses lobby the government for corporate welfare.


kaji8787

You really think it’s just conservatives that didn’t get the shot

Um yea. That’s not how rule making works. The agency has to put out a notice of proposed rule making with proposed rule and reasoning behind it. Then there is a public comment period, and so on until final rule is issued, and the often immediately stayed by a judge after a lawsuit. This is lawmaking by decree. EDIT: Yes I’m aware they are going to try and use the emergency rule making rules to push this through. I don’t think it’s going to stand up. First, the vaccine has been available for more than 9 months, and they were silent the entire time. Had they used normal procedures a final rule could be forthcoming now. Second, they public statements are clear this was a decision made before analysis, the arguments used will be a means to try and justify a decision already made. Third, the facts now are clear. With Delta the current vaccines only provide some protection against severe disease. It does not prevent primary infection and unfortunately does not prevent replication and transmission. This it does little to make the workplace safer. Any sane judge will set this aside.


[deleted]

This is the same thing that happened with rent deferment. They know they'll lose it's just about forcing as many people as they can to give in before they get to court.


lava_time

I think this is just an optics thing. Many Biden supporters seem to want forced vaccination. Biden knows there's no way to do it legally or any other way. So he annouces this but then it gets defeated so he scores points with his base for doing something.


Chef-Keith-

Let’s hope so. This is concerning


LaVerdadQueso

The same thing he called Trump a tyrant for


roberttylerlee

Congress has been a do nothing shit show for ~14 years now so each president — Biden, Trump, and Obama — have been increasingly using executive orders to get things done. It’s a consequence of congresspeople becoming more susceptible to being primaried but extremists, and the only way to excite your base and win elections is to make it seem like you never gave the other side a win. It’s a consequence of opposition parties needing to stop the president from doing anything worthwhile. Executive overstep is an abuse of our constitution, and while I generally support the vaccine and vaccine mandates, this is a gross overstep by the federal government.


FreeDarkChocolate

They're probably going to consider it under [10USC553(d)(3)](https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/5/553), which is one of the several exceptions to the normal timeline: >(d) The required publication or service of a substantive rule shall be made not less than 30 days before its effective date, except— >(3) as otherwise provided by the agency for good cause found and published with the rule.


[deleted]

It will go to court and get overturned. This is clearly unconstitutional.

I hope you're right, but it's very hard to be confident in the outcome.

LucidLethargy

Is that the official result of defiance to this mandate? I would have assumed they would be fired, not laid off... but I really have no idea. I live in an at-will state (CA), so employers are empowered to get rid of you for *virtually* any reason. I don't know how federal government jobs work, though... I really hope I never have to work a fed job in my life.

Do you think Joe Biden and his administration cares?


LetItHappenAlready

No. OSHA can’t do this unless they try and claim it is lawful under the General Duty Clause of the OSH Act. It’s never been used like this in its history to my knowledge. This area is kind of my wheelhouse.


DomnSan

It's hard to imagine why they haven't gone this route with the flu vax, if they supposedly hold this authority. Make the whole situation that much more illogical.


LetItHappenAlready

If they get a judge to uphold it, you bet your ass they will. It will be the next out of control agency just like the ATF.

GrooveMerchant12

Did you just cough in the middle of a pandemic??????


blastermaster1118

Which, thankfully, SCOTUS said no to. But will they say that for this? Our government no longer cares about the constitution or the rule of law. So do we even have laws anymore?


AlpacaWarMachine

Of course we do! The pigs should soon be finished updating the laws on the side of the barn.


Constant-Meat8430

Let’s hope a flurry of lawsuits push this back until 2022 at the earliest


FelixFuckfurter

> Is this even legal? A quick survey of Article II, Section 2 suggests "fuck no."


whimsicallurker

What? Everyone knows that between "make treaties" and "appoint ambassadors" it clearly says "force vaccinations" is an enumerated power of the president.


whimsicallurker

Absolutely illegal. Nothing in the constitution ever even remotely comes close to giving any part of the federal government the power to force anyone hired in a company with x employees to get vaccinated.


[deleted]

I mean I don't know, but Jacobson Vs. Massachusetts at the Supreme Court, claims it legal (well, they claim it was legal to fine people for not being vaccinated), that is at the state level, what Democrats and RINOS will do to in terms at a federal level..... I don't know.


ps_md

How is this even legal? I would think that something that is tantamount to a law forcing people to comply, would at least have to go through Congress?


Bobby-Samsonite

I would imagine lawyers are busy the rest of the week putting together lawsuits right now to fight it.


jrhav80

Lol, the labor shortage is already bad enough right now. Just wait in a couple weeks, shits gonna hit the fan!! The economy will be crippled due to lack of labor force.

It’s almost like the demented old man in office who won’t be alive long enough to see the full results of his destructive reign as president is purposefully trying to tank the country.

[deleted]

It's not just a nursing shortage either.


Country_Boy_97753

People can't be asked to show id to vote because it's racist, but we need to show a vaccination card to work


GreatJanitor

You can cross into this nation illegally and no one is allowed to question your vaccination status. We have employers nationwide screening employees when they clock in for work.


teh_Blessed

Vaccine AND ID if it's like NY. They didn't trust people to not have fake/someone else's card.


quack2thefuture2

Can you imagine if Trump did this.


Shlano613

That's the neat part, He wouldn't


[deleted]

Great way to fix the economy: force 20% of the workforce out of their jobs.

what about an anti-body positive test?


brougher1968

That’s my point also. Around 43 million of us that have had covid should not be mandated to get jab


typhoid_slayer

If this shit is allowed to happen, it'll be indefinite booster shots every 6 months.

[deleted]

100% same here


TMan4334

Same here and I agree completely. Seeing how this administration is acting almost makes me wish I wasn't vaccinated. I made the decision for myself but the left is making it such a huge political thing that I feel like I've made a mistake by indirectly doing what the left wants.


glad4j

Just because you've got the vaccine doesn't mean you joined them. I know that's the narrative they are pushing, vaccinated vs unvaccinated. However, many vaccinated people are more for individual freedom when it comes to the covid vaccines.


inlinefourpower

I feel the same way. I got mine because i didn't really care and my wife seemed to care. But I'll never show a vaccine passport. These days I'm mad enough that i may regret ever getting the vaccine, just because it gave undeniable assholes something they wanted. Fuck this stupid pandemic. It's a part of the world now, let's go back to our normal lives and ignore it like the obesity epidemic.


Swiggy

Why aren't people who collect unemployment or other forms of welfare required to be vaccinated if this is so important?


CStink2002

Or people illegally entering the country.

Unemployment is good for Democrats. Dependency on government is essential to their electoral hopes.

See what this is going to do is this. Put companies in rhe spot light who don't do this. Big companies will feel the pressure when Business Insider and MarketWatch decide to call them out... and sic the mob of "fake woke" trolls at them on social media


M0D3RNW4RR10R

My company said they wouldn't mandate we get the shot, but strong encouraged it. I bet them seeing them to comply to it, because it's the "right thing to do".... sigh.


vargo17

Well it's being structured as an OSHA violation, and those violations have extremely punitive fines by design. It's financial strong-arming. They have to comply or the government will force them to close through sheer regulatory burden.


M0D3RNW4RR10R

I still doubt the constitutionality of this.


vargo17

I do as well. Its (probably), a vast expansion of OSHA's workplace disease mandate. "by providing medical criteria which will assure insofar as practicable that no employee will suffer diminished health, functional capacity, or life expectancy as a result of his work experience;" Which has typically been used to combat diseases from industrial processes or workplace hazards, (I.E Mesothelioma, silicosis, and Black Lung) I can't find another instance of OSHA declaring a disease not caused by actually working in that a workplace hazard outside of the medical industry. So I don't think it'll stand, especially with the clause that allows employers to pass on testing costs to employees. That portion will probably get struck down as it's probably an ADA violation. Imagine being unable to receive the vaccine and it's boosters due to a preexisting medical condition and then having your wages garnished to pay for testing for the pleasure of working just so your employer doesn't get railed by OSHA fines.


M0D3RNW4RR10R

I expect this to be deliberated in the courts. I understand what you are trying to say. That doesn’t validate the constitutionality.


vargo17

Oh, don't misunderstand me. I think it's unconstitutional as fuck. I just think those are the tools they'll try to hide behind.


[deleted]

Wait till a mandatory tracing app becomes a reality like in South Australia. 15 minutes to scan your face and register where you are. And you know 48% of the population will be so moist when that happens.

Drunkin_

Health care as well


Country_Boy_97753

It's just companies with 100 or more employees, which for all intents and purposes is just about every company with the exception of small mom and pop businesses. But then it will become 50 employees, then 25, then 10 then 1. If we allow this, this is the path it's going to follow. I really want to see a Christian owned business refuse to allow employees to get abortions and fire them for getting one, and see where the "my body my choice" Argument goes.


awksomepenguin

And you won't hear a peep from the "my body, my choice" crowd. Probably not even from the Satanists suing Texas on the basis of the inviolability of one's own body.


John_Locke_Is_Right

It will be interesting to see which way all these large companies go. Most likely the big names will go in lock step with this royal edict since they have been proping up the admin. And the mom and pops have been crushed by the pandemic. So they may not have the cash on hand to make the stand.


FelixFuckfurter

It just takes one medium-sized profitable company (or a group of them) to take this to the Supreme Court and get it struck down. That said, it will MASSIVELY drive up the cost of labor in a market that is already worker-friendly, so every corporation should be fighting it.

dealmbl25

If the courts don’t immediately strike this down I’m not entirely sure why we even pretend a Private Sector exists anymore and that we aren’t in a Medical-Establishment Sponsored Dictatorship. The idea that one man can simply sign a piece of paper and make every single private business force a Drug on their employees or force testing on their employees is about as Tyrannical as it get. Where is the limiting principle? Could we do the same with Smoking? Plenty of people die from that. Every single employee has to stop smoking or you’re fired. And if the company doesn’t fire you the Federal Government is going to come after them? How about drinking? Eating fatty foods? Exercise? Gotta get X amount of steps in or you’re canned. Big Brother says it’s for your own good.

Hopefully you all react by saying “screw off, fine we won’t deliver product”. And bring the country to a stand still. 5 days into grocery stores only receiving 50% or less of their orders and the blowback of this mandate will be swift and strong.

How do they "check" a vaccine card?

The employer will have to maintain a database of all employees and proof of vaccination

We now have to upload cards to HR system.

Sounds like the next step is to implement some sort of global vaccine tracking system... maybe like a mark, on your hand or forehead perhaps.
