There is no law, only a press statement by Biden regarding private employers. The EO refers to federal employees and federal contractors, but not other private employers.
100% accurate. Private employers with over 100 employees do not fall under any EO or law yet, but OSHA is set to release their temporary emergency standard that will act as law.
Again, regulations, guidelines, etc. are not law. HUGE difference. But more importantly, no law is a legal law if it goes against the US constitution. And we have many illegal laws in this country. Always look to the US constitution because it is the SUPREME LAW of our land. And it guarantees your freedoms. End of story. Seriously.
I agree. OSHA weighing in on "workplace health and safety" guidelines doesn't supersede the Constitution, but there will be plenty of employers that follow the "recommendations" either way. Legal battles will ensue for sure.
I suppose this is exactly what will possibly spark the next American civil war. Do states' rights trump federal law? I think they do unless dealing with "interstate commerce", but I'm no Constitutional lawyer. Interpretation of law will continue to spawn wars until every citizen agrees on the fundamental rights we're granted.

Thank you. At that point, do States' Rights trump Federal E.O.'s -- or do OSHA regulations supercede everything?

I see another commentor replied above that OSHA guidelines are just recommendations
It's true.
