The U.S. Supreme Court on January 13 stayed an emergency temporary standard (ETS) that generally would
have required employers with 100 or more employees to ensure that all employees are either vaccinated
against coronavirus (COVID) or undergo weekly COVID testing. A federal appeals court in December had lifted
a stay that another court had imposed on the ETS, but the Supreme Court expedited a review of that decision.
Supply chain stakeholders, including trucking industry groups, had sounded alarms over the effect of a vaccine
mandate on the supply of workers.
