I reluctantly support this. I also think a bunch of companies that have many/most employees who can work from home were hoping that they could get through this without widespread mandates given that the reluctant mostly didn’t have to come into the office or customer sites.

If they can safely work from home this is clearly not an occupational safety and health issue and osha doesn't have any business getting involved. So this is either clearly an overreach or osha was just the vector biden used to exert power he didn't have on his own.

I don’t even completely disagree. But his objective is to get more people vaccinated and most large employers will be happy to go along. It’s at most a minor nuisance for them to fire people who refuse to comply. Especially if the execs agree with the goals. HR will have zero patience for a conversation about how the rules shouldn’t apply.
