U.S. Supreme Court Blocks Federal Vaccine Requirement for Large Employers

Jan. 13, the U.S. Supreme Court blocked the federal emergency rule
issued by OSHA that would have required large employers to ensure their
employees are either vaccinated against COVID-19 or test weekly. The
Supreme Court allowed the vaccine mandate for certain healthcare workers
to stand.
Regarding the vaccine mandate for federal
contractors, in December 2021, a lower court granted a nationwide
injunction prohibiting the federal government from enforcing the
mandate. That decision may still make its way to the Supreme Court as
well, but some legal experts predict the Supreme Court’s decision on the
large employer mandate may foreshadow a future ruling blocking the
federal contractor mandate. Cornerstone will keep members informed as
information develops.
Beyond the vaccine mandate issue, many
other pandemic-related employment questions continue to roll into
Cornerstone’s Information Central hotline. Cornerstone is also aware of
the challenges credit unions are encountering regarding hiring and
retaining staff. As a result, we invite you to join us for an essential
