Biden Federal officials are plowing through meetings requested by more than 40 groups and individuals that have raised questions and concerns about the coming rule that will require many companies to implement coronavirus vaccination or testing protocols for their workers, according to records posted on a government website.
Say what you will about the pro-Marxist agitator group Black Lives Matter, and over the years we've said plenty, but they certainly know how to push an agenda and get it through. If American patriots who are rightly opposing the Biden vaccine mandates would get out in the streets and start shutting stuff down until things started to change, things would start to change. But they won't and the Biden White House is counting on that.
"When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." Proverbs 29:2 (KJB)
America, what's left of her, is in tatters, and we are watching the pillars of our institutions come tumbling down to reveal that the government which we can see is not the government that is governing. Whoever is actually in charge is letting the whole thing burn on one hand, and bringing in draconian mandates on the other. Did you ever think you would live to see the day where your government would demand you be injected with pharmakeia if you wanted to keep buying and selling? Hey, wait a minute...are we..?? Tick, tock, it's later than you think.
As the Biden White House tries to finalize vaccine mandate, dozens of groups seek last-minute meetings
FROM MSN: Lobbyists from industry associations and unions, as well as some private anti-vaccine individuals, are lining up to take meetings with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which is in the process of finalizing the rule that will apply to some 80 million workers, before its expected release in coming weeks.
The unusually high number of groups requesting meetings is a sign of the intense interest in how the Biden administration crafts the policy. Many view this policy as its highest-profile — and probably its most widely contested — effort to increase coronavirus vaccination rates across the country, perhaps one of the most significant undertakings in Labor Department history.
A number of meetings appear to be initiated by small but vocal anti-vaccine factions, as right-wing message boards fill with instructions on how to utilize an obscure Clinton-era executive order requiring OMB to solicit these meetings, with the goal of slowing or even stopping the process.
But that goal is not possible. Although federal officials appear to be entertaining some of these requests, they do not have to take all of the meeting requests and can release the rule when they are ready. Biden has said the rule will apply to companies with more than 100 employees and will allow for coronavirus testing instead of mandatory vaccinations. Many companies have instituted their own vaccine mandates with high levels of compliance, but some others have said they have significant concerns about how a federal policy would be implemented.
Those who have had or requested meetings with Labor Department and OMB officials so far include industry groups such as the National Lumber and Building Material Dealers Association (NLBMDA), the Corn Refiners Association, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Retail Federation; companies such as Walt Disney and auto conglomerate Stellantis; the AFL-CIO, the nation’s largest union federation; and conservative think tanks like the Koch-backed Americans for Prosperity and the Ethics and Public Policy Center.
Representatives from multiple industry groups said in interviews that they had expressed concerns to federal officials about the potential for the coming vaccine requirements to exacerbate the economic woes caused by supply chain issues and labor shortages.
“The overwhelming majority of respondents said to us this is going to negatively impact their businesses and their ability to retain employees,” said Kevin McKenney, director of government affairs at the NLBMDA.
McKenney said many of the group’s member businesses were worried about the financial impact, if employers are required to pay for testing for employees who opt for it, and the strain on the labor force. READ MORE
