WASHINGTON -- Labor Secretary Marty Walsh said Thursday that the federal government has “every right” to impose a vaccine requirement on private businesses to help with workplace safety.

State attorneys general who immediately announced lawsuits against the Biden administration over the workplace mandate should talk to employers in their state and fully read the rules, he said.

“I think it’s unfortunate that at this moment so many states — it just came out seven hours ago — haven’t had a chance to talk to their employers in their states to see what they feel about this,” Walsh said in an interview with McClatchy.

Several Republican-run states, including Florida, Texas and Missouri, said they planned to sue the administration over the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rule, which requires businesses with more than 100 employees to make sure their workers are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or test negative weekly and wear a mask. Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt, a Republican, has also said he would challenge the rule in court.

1. Fascists don't need to read the rules, hey already know they want to sue, cause

”rules” causes Fox outrage among the magats who cry for their lost freedoms they don’t understand have never been lost.

8. Fascists think no rules should be followed unless it's their rules.

They only want things that favor straight, white, rich, & right wing males and hate everyone else, except women who are currently "servicing" them.

9. Exactly

3. Republicans and rules....they make their own

[Beartracks]

4. Must be so-called "right-to-work" states, but not "right to work in safety" states.

Or "right to work for a living wage" states, either, for that matter.

5. Its all about the chaos, even when they know the law does not support their efforts

All they want to do is divide the people, continue feeding crap to their base which seems to eat everything these criminals throw at them without questioning, they just open their mouths like alligators would do...it is shameful that ignorance and stupidity prevail in such big numbers within our population, and even sadder that they are winning because those who know better are too civil to fight back with the appropriate rules. Like someone said once "You don't go into a knife fight with a bible."

This is real folks, things are moving from bad to worst, and many MAGA idiots who support the craziness will wake up one morning to find out they have cheered against their own interests and now find themselves slaves of a corrupt dictatorship brought by the republican party. They act as if this a sporting match where their team must win at all cost for a championship, rude awakening coming their way.

10. You've nailed a number of points...

...but I want to draw attention to this one.

"They act as if this a sporting match where their team must win at all cost for a championship,"

check their FB or IG feeds (I know. This thread not about fb or ig) from five years ago. Sports, kids, family, vacations, dinners.

The real Hatriot MAGA GQP folks WERE NOT POLITICAL before the 2016 campaign. They weren't. They did listen to Limbaugh, though. Limbaugh got his start in .... wait for it... sports broadcasting. He was Royals announcer.

Is it any wonder a Con man conned his way to power by appealing to the lowest common denominator to attract the lowest information voters to RADICALIZE into political FANS. And Fans, as you know, is short for....Fanatics.

American Yeehaw-dists, Amercan Christo Fascists, MAGAts. They all see the world in black and white. and for them White makes right. Go Team!

6. You dont HAVE to get the shot!!! Its either/or.

Either get the shot or get tested weekly.
Getting tested doesnt "invade your body"
So in reality its not a "vaccine mandate" at all.
They should call it the "workplace safety" mandate

[intheflow]

7. The tests are still offered for free so what the fuck is the problem?

There is no vax mandate, it's a mandate to make OR get tested. These Attorney Generals have to up their reading comprehension.

11. I suspect they won't be free forever.

The precedent would crack the resistance to government sponsored, single payer healthcare. I'm shocked this hasn't already popped up on the TeeVee news. Of course that would require them to actually put 2 and 2 together which would take away valuable cell/face time.

12. we the people have the right not to put them in office too !

13. They're hoping the Trump judges will throw them a lifeline.
