Business groups are growing increasingly frustrated as Labor Department officials move forward with President Biden's vaccine requirement without seeking their input.
While lobbying groups that represent some of the country's biggest corporations don't oppose the rule, which will require employers with more than 100 workers to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations or weekly testing, those same organizations have presented Biden officials with lengthy lists of questions about the rule that have so far gone unanswered.
"The administration has refused to engage in any substantive dialogue about their plan," said Ed Egee, vice president of government relations and workforce development at the National Retail Federation.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which is tasked with implementing the vaccine-or-test requirement, is not taking meetings with business groups or labor unions that are seeking to influence the process or glean more information about the rule, according to business lobbyists.
