The upper management where I work messaged us yesterday & said that by the end of january we must turn in vax cards or submit to weekly testing (paid for by us of course). I was hoping they'd reconsider, thinking Texas Gov. Abbot had passed an EO stating that business are exempt from requiring it from their employers, even if federal law required them to do so. Come to find out that's not what he said, and that EO doesn't exist to my knowledge. So then I looked for the mandate, and the seemingly best I could find is this (https://guides.sll.texas.gov/covid-19/vaccine-laws) It has a note on the OSHA mandate saying that it's been suspended, which I remember reading about awhile back when the judge blocked it. And it says the site was last updated 2 days ago. Is the mandate back on? Or is another branch releasing something? Does it still not exist after all? Any help is so so greatly appreciated

Tell your upper management that you would like to wait on the VAX for one year to see if they die.
Worked like a charm, I just got promoted
I hear that the tests are being "decertified" by the CDC....
Ask for lots of information in writing so you can "understand it." Then play dumb until you understand it. then get a starving law student or a few that are conservatives from your local law school. Give the kid 50% then Attack.
Class action lawsuits can be very effective.
This may help!

Keep logs of everything in writing. Demand everything in writing. Get an attorney.
Job not your business. Become self employed.
Despite the fact OSHA mandates are being held up in court at the moment, an employer can still have their own internal vaccine policies that may require an employee to get it or submit to testing like it seems they have. It's within their rights to create their own corporate policies regarding their employees, and they don't necessarily need to be "forced" by the OSHA mandate to do so.
