Last week, EMA joined NACS, NATSO and
SIGMA in a letter to OSHA Acting Assistant Secretary
Jim Frederick concerning questions in response to President Biden’s executive
order (EO) directing businesses with more than 100 employees to either require
workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or produce a negative COVID-19 test
weekly.
The Emergency Temporary
Standard (ETS) may complicate already fragile labor markets and create challenges
for many businesses that are currently struggling to remain open.
The groups urged OSHA to address the specific questions we raised in the ETS or forthcoming guidance, and to provide clear and complete guidance to employers, so they know what OSHA expects.
