Since President Biden’s mandatory vaccination announcement last Thursday, we’ve been monitoring the situation alongside the Minnesota and US Chambers of Commerce.

If the executive order survives court challenges, it will impact about 4,800 Minnesota businesses that employ more than 1.3 million workers. For our member businesses with more than 100 employees, vaccination or weekly testing mandates would begin as an “emergency temporary standard” set by OSHA. Since OSHA typically does not move fast, this will likely take several weeks to be enacted. At this point, we have many questions and concerns.

We invite you to join us for a complimentary webinar next Monday, September 20th from 12:00 to 1:00, sponsored by our partners at the Minnesota Chamber. Presenters will provide an overview of the order and how Minnesota businesses are implementing different approaches to vaccinations.
