The Article: Biden’s Vax Mandate To Be Enforced By Fining Companies $70,000 To $700,000?
From the article:
"President Joe Biden didn’t just announce a Covid-19 vaccine mandate on companies employing 100 or more people, he plans to enforce it.
On Saturday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s House quietly tucked an enforcement mechanism into their $3.5 trillion “reconciliation” bill, passed it out of the Budget Committee, and sent it to the House floor.
Buried on page 168 of the House Democrats’ 2,465-page mega bill is a tenfold increase in fines for employers that “willfully,” “repeatedly,” or even seriously violate a section of labor law that deals with hazards, death, or serious physical harm to their employees.
The increased fines on employers could run as high as $70,000 for serious infractions, and $700,000 for willful or repeated violations—almost three-quarters of a million dollars for each fine. If enacted into law, vax enforcement could bankrupt non-compliant companies even more quickly than the $14,000 OSHA fine anticipated under Biden’s announced mandate."
OP Comment(s):
If this stands then only the wealthiest of corporations would be able to afford such fines and absorb such outrageous per employee non-compliance. Seems more like open season on US employers than any good faith effort to protect the general public and average American worker against any virus. Tell us again, Mr. Biden, how many American workers have dropped over dead or gravely ill at their machines, grills or cash registers from COVID-19? I suppose we'll see how the courts handle suits brought against Biden's vaccine mandate bid and whether or not OSHA steps up to this putrid plate. Ultimately, in our opinion, blame must rest squarely on the shoulders of any and all American companies who submit to this tyrannical madness and fail to protect their workers from the Fed. Could we eventually see a massive crash in the US economy as millions of unvaccinated workers walk off their jobs in protest? Stay tuned.
