US Supreme Court to hear challenges to Covid vaccine mandates Unvaccinated employees would have to present weekly negative tests and wear face masks at work. theSun thesundaily Covid-19 vaccinationmandates hesitant reluctant

: The US Supreme Court is to hear challenges on Friday to President Joe Biden's bid to impose Covid vaccination mandates on millions of American workers.

A flurry of lawsuits ensued, and the conservative-majority Supreme Court is holding a special hearing to decide whether the mandates can be implemented while the legal challenges continue.Businesses with 100 employees or more represent about two-thirds of the private sector workforce in the United States, or some 80 million people.

A group of 26 business associations opposed to the mandates, however, said they will “inflict irreparable harm upon hundreds of thousands of businesses.” “The mandate would force millions of workers to choose between losing their jobs or complying with an unlawful federal mandate,“ they argued. Several large US corporations, including meat giant Tyson Foods and United Airlines, imposed vaccination mandates in September without suffering major disruptions.

But the court has previously curtailed federal actions linked to the pandemic, notably by throwing out a moratorium prohibiting evictions.
