Supreme Court blocks OSHA vaccine or test rule for large workplaces
The court halts the Biden administration’s vaccine or test mandate for U S businesses with 100 or more employees while allowing a health care worker mandate. The decision, 5-4, leaves health care facilities receiving federal funding covered, affecting about 10.4 million workers across 76,000 facilities. Justices Breyer, Kagan, and Sotomayor dissented. President Biden criticized the ruling and urged employers to adopt their own vaccination policies.
