Yeah, google is your friend. Oh and I am correct. The EO does not apply to USPS even though they are technically a federally contracted agency. Not a given they will be required.

Good try though and the helicopter sure is cute.

Then google OHSA post office vaccine mandate and you'll see they are also under the same mandate as everyone else.

You need to quit relying on Google bubba. This is false. The Post Office probably wouldn’t survive another shortage and the government has no leverage of vaccine or fired.

Not to mention the multiple labor unions.

why is my natural immunity not a sufficient defense against Covid 19?

Why do i have to take an injection that my body doesn't need?

Explain that to me liberals

You will hopefully grow up one day and realize the mistakes of your youth such as the above post. Or you will be one of the lost soy boy liberals that couldn't even change a flat tire if his life depended on it. The choice is yours.

The EO does not apply to


An executive order is a directive to agencies under the president's control on how to operate. The constitutional basis for this is Article Two, but of course there is a ton of debate on interpretation

So for USPS

quote:

does not apply to USPS


Because USPS is not under presidential control nor do they receive federal contracts controlled by the president. For example, Biden can not directly fire Louis Dejoy the Postmaster General or issue directives to him about the USPS.

Similarly, the EO does not apply to the judicial or legislative branches as they are outside the president's scope of power for EOs

quote:

they are technically a federally contracted agency.


They are legally an 'independent establishment.'


quote:

Then google OHSA post office vaccine mandate


So this is separate from the previously discussed EO, in that OSHA through the guise of workplace safety, can implement vaccine requirements/rules

Right now, for employers with 100+, OSHA wants either vaccines OR mandatory testing programs for unvaccinated. I'd guess that's if they are in person/in an office setting.


The USPS is subject to OSHA requirements and complying with OSHA standards is a legal matter.
quote:

Not to mention the multiple labor unions.


I don't think labor unions get to negotiate on workplace safety law, so if OSHA requires nothing USPS can do about it.


Again, for the OSHA they did have the testing route and I think it is still unclear how it is enforced for remote/offsite

The day my employer mandates the vaccine as a condition of my employment is the day I stop working here. It's a simple as that. I have an emergency fund for shite like this. I hope there are men of conviction out there still. I'd love/hate to see Harsin and Leach walk off the job.

The post office is quasi federal. Biden appoints nominees to the Postal board of governors . It can receive funds appointed by Congress. The President can also permanently frick it as Bush did.

quote:

The United States Postal Service (USPS; also known as the Post Office, U.S. Mail, or Postal Service) is an independent agency of the executive branch of the United States federal government responsible for providing postal service in the United States, including its insular areas and associated states. It is one of the few government agencies explicitly authorized by the United States Constitution. The USPS, as of 2020, has 495,941 career employees and 148,092 non-career employees.[5]


quote:

The USPS is often mistaken for a state-owned enterprise or government-owned corporation (e.g., Amtrak) because it operates much like a business. It is, however, an "establishment of the executive branch of the Government of the United States", (39 U.S.C. § 201) as it is controlled by presidential appointees and the postmaster general. As a government agency, it has many special privileges, including sovereign immunity, eminent domain powers, powers to negotiate postal treaties with foreign nations, and an exclusive legal right to deliver first-class and third-class mail. Indeed, in 2004, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a unanimous decision “The Postal Service is not subject to antitrust liability. In both form and function, it is not a separate antitrust person from the United States but is part of the Government,

What is OHSA requiring? Because the NBA players union told the NBA to frick off so apparently OHSA doesn’t hold mandate there

OSHA has not finalized anything yet, there are only reports of what they plan to do on the issue. I would describe what I've read as a 'vaccine or test' rule

The expectations are if a business has 100+ employees, they will either have employees vaccinated or administer weekly tests

quote:

NBPA told the NBA's own mandate idea was a nonstarter. As the OSHA rule isn't official, it wouldn't be part of that discussion

But

I am pretty sure the NBA current vaccine/testing rules are already compliant. From what I understand, the NBA program is more strict than what OSHA is proposing

President definitely has influence but my point is that operationally they don't take direct orders from him. EOs are such directives and don't apply to them

That was a tag team effort by both Bush + Congress.

OHSA-so they are trying to get this in for COVID but this is crap because they are not having people get tested for TB or other things and even the flu shots...that is why you know it it a croc...how many over 65 are in the work place compared to younger crowd which has a well over 99% survival rate. Oh and natural immunity has been shown to be the same or better and that isn't even counted...so this whole thing is a croc

We will see how it all plays out.

Do you not think it would be prudent for the legislative branches to issue similar mandates to their people? They always seem to find a way to slither under the radar and never get included. Because as it stands now each member of the house and senate make the rules for their office, and that is it. They get to CHOOSE, which is all I am for.

I have been vaccinated since April. I am fighting against mandates and for freedom of choice. I am asking for common sense when looking at children and teenagers who are the least affected with major illness and death. They don't need the vaccine.

I am for every other citizen to be allowed to make that choice.

Why is it that immigrants illegal and otherwise are not being required to be vaccinated to enter upon our soil?

Do they have miraculous immunities against the virus?

I piece these things together, myself and not FB, Fox, or anything else. I am pretty engaged, but admittedly can get it wrong and always open to others opinions and info to help me shore up my position, or correct it with good information and facts.

There is no need for a mandate of any kind or anymore shutdowns. People shouldn't be ostracized or labeled because they choose not to get the vaccine.

As long as your pretty sure.

Looking at the three years prior to Covid the average peds death from flu was about 200 per year. The peds death from Covid in a 12 month cycle was 350’s. The Covid number will unfortunately grow because delta only accounts for 3 months of that 12 month cycle.

Isn't the main difference in how the deaths are counted?

I thought flu deaths were based on in-hospital deaths and flu being on death certificate. Whereas, COVID death can range from all sorts of things - in hospital, within two weeks of being vaccinated, having covid at death due to another illness etc.

No, death certificates and COD are handled the same now as before COVID. Nobody cared if flu caused a case of pneumonia and then someone died until it was a political issue how many people were dying.
