WASHINGTON, Jan. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ The Teamsters Union applauds President Biden s call for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to reassess COVID-19 workplace safety guidelines, including emergency temporary standards, in his Executive Order on Worker Health & Safety. Each day, workers put themselves at risk when employers are not held to strict guidelines for effective COVID-19 safety protocols on the job, said Teamsters General President James P. Hoffa. With this executive order, the Department of Labor, through OSHA, can give clear direction on what emergency temporary standards – like a mandatory mask policy in the workplace – employers must follow.
After a decade of ups and downs on the question of federal preemption, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (“FMSCA”) decision.
