Episode 229: OSHA Issues Final Vaccine Mandate - What Does It Mean For Operators?

It was an election night that Democrats will want to forget as Republicans swept Virginia and very nearly toppled the governor of New Jersey. We’ll discuss the electoral ramifications, the political environment and what operators should expect going forward. And the long-awaited final vaccine mandate rule - the Emergency Temporary Standard to be precise - was released by OSHA and it’s even more stringent than had been anticipated. We are joined by Ed Egee, Vice President of Government Relations and Workforce Development at the National Retail Federation who will take us on a deep dive into the new rules and what operators will be responsible for in the months ahead. We’ll discuss those issues and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.
