The rule exempts employees who exclusively work outdoors or remotely and have minimal contact with others indoors. Trucking wants an exemption because most truckers work in non-office settings, mostly outdoors. The mandate covers two-thirds of the nation’s workforce.

“A stay pending full review is essential to ensure our members can continue to keep the supply chain moving without the enormous disruptions this unlawful ETS will cause the trucking industry and our nation’s consumers-including the 80% percent of American communities that depend exclusively on trucks for their needs,” Geale added.Įarlier, the ATA told the Biden administration that trucking has “grave concern” that the COVID-19 vaccine mandate will damage the industry and the nation. “We are asking the court to stay implementation of the mandate because we believe the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) did not satisfy the statutory requirements for issuing this Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) instead of going through the proper rulemaking process,” said Nicholas Geale, ATA vice president of workforce policy.

The American Trucking Associations (ATA), along with the Louisiana Motor Truck Association, the Mississippi Trucking Association and the Texas Trucking Association, joined other business groups representing various facets of the supply chain in suing the Biden administration over its employer-based COVID-19 vaccine mandate. We never forget that May Trucking Company's success depends on our drivers' success.The trucking industry is suing over President Joe Biden’s vaccine policy that requires private sector employers with over 100 employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
