Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the past 24 hours, you are well aware that OSHA released its vaccine-mandate emergency temporary standard. There are lots of resources that have since been published, including this website from OSHA itself. One of the best is this half-hour video in which the agency explains the nuts and bolts of the ETS.
Alternatively, you can just randomly pound on your keyboard and you’ll end up on the website of an employment lawyer offering you his or her summary (me included).
