(The Christian Post) President Joe Biden’s executive orders requiring federal employees, contractors and private employers with more than 100 workers to mandate vaccinations or weekly testing for COVID-19 exempts members of Congress, federal judges and their staffers.
In the coming weeks, the Labor Department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration plans to issue an emergency temporary standard implementing the new requirement.
According to the order, businesses can face fines of up to $14,000 if they do not comply.
Because the president’s executive order for federal workers and contractors only applies to the executive branch, those who work under the legislative and judicial branches of the federal government are not included.
