re: What is stopping companies from just not complying with vaccine mandates?

Their plan is to use OSHA and other Gov entities to fine companies who do not comply. Their proposal said $14,000 per infraction per day. So most companies can't swing that kind of burden. It's not that easy to just say frick off for most businesses.

Is it legal? Very doubtful. They have to actually release the "mandate" in order for it to be legally scrutinized. It will be challenged by a whole host of people, organizations, and State DA's and it's very doubtful it can hold up.

The reason they haven't released anything tangible other than the potatoes ramblings is they know it won't hold up. But it will get Afghanistan off the front page and off message boards, and it'll give left leaning companies a pass to push mandates claiming they are getting ahead of the Fed mandate.
