OSHA Withdraws ETS
This Tuesday, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced the official withdrawal of the Vaccine and Testing Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS), which mandated employers with 100 or more employees to require workers to either be vaccinated or undergo weekly COVID testing. The move comes on the heels of a Supreme Court decision earlier this month, which stated that “challengers were likely to prevail on their claims” in the ongoing legal challenges to the ETS. 
 
The Biden Administration’s federal contractor vaccine mandate continues to be in a stay following December’s ruling by a federal court. AHLA will continue to provide updated information as it becomes available. 
 
AHLA continues to urge all qualified individuals to get vaccinated to ensure the safety of our communities. As an industry, our priority has always been the safety of our guests and employees, and we will continue to adhere to guidance from public health agencies as we continue down the road of recovery.
