Desperation that the ohsa rule will be overturned or arrogance? They’re just so smarmy and arrogant, I hope it all collapses on their watch. >Biden’s vaccine-or-test mandate for businesses with 100 or more workers is still being crafted by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), **prompting the administration to fill that time by encouraging more employers to implement their own vaccination rules beforehand**. >Companies taking that step are getting a shout-out from the White House. >When asked why the administration would rather see companies come out now with their own mandates instead of waiting until the OSHA ruling, the official said, “**There is no reason to wait to put forth these requirements and we encourage every company to do what will boost vaccinations**.” >The administration's stated goal is to get as many people vaccinated as possible. **If employers mandate it before they are required to, that serves the overall goal**. >**White House chief of staff Ron Klain has praised** United Airlines, AT&T and other companies for their vaccine mandates. **He tweeted an article that said United had less than one percent of employees refuse to get the vaccine following its mandate**. **“Lots of talk about threatened resignations in the face of vaccine requirements, but the reality**? ‘At Novant Health ...in North Carolina, 375 workers were suspended ... [but] the vaccination rate [hit] over 99 percent of its more than 35,000 employees,’” he said this past week. >**A former OSHA official under President Obama said that in most cases of forthcoming workplace standards, companies typically comply ahead of the ruling**. >“If employers know OSHA is going to issue a standard requiring certain safety measures, employers start to comply ahead of the requirement. **You see this with most OSHA standards — that often by the time it is issued, many employers have complied or are on their way,”** >**“Given that the White House has made it clear that the President stands behind OSHA issuing this standard, employers know it is coming,” Berkowitz said. “And what we found when I was at OSHA, most employers want to do the right thing and they will comply**.” >There have been — some of these companies have been much bigger, larger companies, where they have effectively implemented these mandates and requirements. **And for the most part, we have not seen a mass exodus of employees**,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Wednesday. “**Yes, individuals have decided not to get vaccinated and then have therefore not, no longer been employed. That’s nobody’s preference**.”
