In a study that surveyed more than 1,250 travel & hospitality workers across the globe (United States, United, Kingdom, France, Spain & Germany) Medallia Zingle found that although hospitality companies have experienced a surge in business over the last several months, their employees are reporting that they've struggled to handle this increase in activity and as a result, the employee experience has gotten worse, leading to more than a third of hospitality workers across the globe considering or already having plans to leave the industry before the end of 2021.

Just one day after the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) published its mandatory vaccination emergency temporary standard, a federal court has put the rule on hold pending review by the court.

As previously reported, on November 5, 2021, the DOL published in the Federal Register its emergency temporary standard requiring employers with at least 100 employees to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations or weekly tests.

As expected, several parties filed different legal challenges to the rule seeking a temporary restraining order and injunction to prevent the rule from going into effect. Just one day later, on November 6, 2021, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a short order putting the rule on hold, citing potential “grave statutory and constitutional issues.” The case is being handled quickly, and further developments are imminent.
