Federal Contractor COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate on Hold Until at Least Jan. 24

A December 17 decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit will effectively maintain a Georgia federal district court鈥檚 nationwide stay of the federal contractor vaccine mandate until at least January 24, 2022. The Eleventh Circuit denied a Biden Administration request to immediately remove the nationwide stay and instead requested that the parties to the lawsuit fully brief their arguments on the stay by January 24. The argument here does not go to the merits of the mandate, but instead as to whether the existing freeze of the mandate should be maintained or not. As such, litigation is far from over in this particular case and those throughout the country, including by 澳门六合彩开奖预测 in a federal court in Texas.

Even as the association challenges the administration鈥檚 two coronavirus vaccine mandates, it continues to work to encourage all construction workers to get vaccinated. 澳门六合彩开奖预测 recently released a series of featuring construction workers who nearly died from the virus, urging their peers to get vaccinated. 澳门六合彩开奖预测 has been urging its members to show the videos to all their workers and is also placing ads featuring the videos in key construction markets. 澳门六合彩开奖预测 also created a vaccine toolkit for the industry.
