U.S. appeals court reinstates President Biden's nationwide vaccine-or-testing COVID-19 mandate, a federal government rule that covers 80 million American workers
The ruling by the 6th U.S. Court of Appeals in Cincinnati lifted a November injunction that had blocked the rule from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration , which applies to businesses with least 100 workers.
The law "authorizes OSHA to act on its charge 'to assure safe and healthful working conditions for the nation’s work force and to preserve the nation’s human resources'," said the opinion from the three-judge panel.President Joe Biden unveiled in September regulations to increase the adult vaccination rate as a way of fighting the pandemic, which has killed more than 750,000 Americans and weighed on the economy.
Companies such as United Airlines have used mandates to increase the number of vaccinated employees, often with only a small number of workers refusing the shots.
