The Occupational Safety and Health Administration or OSHA has released exemptions to the mandatory COVID 19 vaccine mandate for large, private employers. That mandate doesn’t take effect until January 4 and goes into effect after harvest season. National Council of Farmer Cooperative’s President Chuck Conner is disappointed OSHA’s rule comes at a time when Co-ops like many businesses are having a hard time hiring and keeping workers. He says they’ve already met with O-M-B on the issue.

He says what’s positive is a District Court ruling issuing a stay against OSHA’s emergency mandated vaccine order.

Conner says what’s also disturbing is that when CO=Ops are having the problem of filling job openings any order mandating vaccination or testing just compels workers not to comply.

s
Conner says just because they’re opposing this move by OSHA and mandating vaccination, they are still in favor workers and everyone being vaccinated if its their choice.
