11/5/21 VACCINE MANDATE UPDATE: TRUCKING EXEMPT?
According to the American Trucking Associations
(AT
A), the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHSA) emergency temporary standard
on the vaccine mandate,
issued today in the
Federal Register
,
exempts employees who exclusively work outdoors or remotely and have minimal contact with others indoors.
All indications thus far from the Department of Labor suggest this exemption does apply to the commercial truck driver population.
ATA is completing their due diligence to confirm this through official channels.
MTA will continue to keep you informed as more information becomes available.
