USPS exempt from Biden vax mandate for 100M workers

[The Purge]

Neither rain, nor sleet … nor presidential proclamation.

President Biden on Thursday mandated COVID-19 vaccines for about 100 million US workers, but the more than 600,000 letter-carriers and administrative staff of the US Postal Service reportedly won’t have to get a shot.

A White House official confirmed the exemption to Washington Post postal reporter Jacob Bogage, adding that “we strongly encourage them to comply with these standards” anyhow.

It was not immediately clear why postal workers — who serve every community in the United States, often with daily door-to-door deliveries and contact with millions of Americans — would be exempted from new mandates that apply to most federal workers and companies with 100 or more staff…

So let me get this straight here; as of now ‘everybody’ employed by the goverment or by large corporations has to get the shot. Exceptions include Postal Workers, and Congress, Oh and all those illegals streaming into the US via Southern borders, it’s just fine if they just say ‘No’
not that they’ve been fully vetted or anything.

Your article says USPS

IS INCLUDED in the mandate.

The USPS exemption was initially believed to allow postal workers to duck the private-sector mandate, too. But nearly four hours after that understanding was reported, the White House issued a clarification saying that postal workers will have a choice between getting vaccinated and getting tested once a week, just like workers at large companies

Reminds me of back when Obamacare was passed and Pelosi granted exemptions to many businesses in California.

Your opinion article premise is incorrect. They are not exempt from the rules for companies with 100 or more staff...

Of course Traitor Joe is giving postal workers a break. He could never have been "elected" without postal workers willing to .....ahem....... look the other way. Quid pro quo, baby.

Well I think the USPS may be exempt from firing the unvaccinated, but they aren't federal workers and the USPS is not a contractor. And that's why Purge is a liar.

United States Postal Service (USPS) employees will receive COVID-19 vaccines under rules issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and not rules for the federal government, multiple outlets reported Thursday.

The Washington Post initially reported that the independent agency, which employed nearly 500,000 people in 2020, would not be required to comply with President Joe Biden’s new executive order tightening vaccine requirements A federal official later clarified to CNN that USPS would still be governed under Labor Department and OSHA rulemaking.
