Federal lawyers tells court vaccine rule should remain while cases play out in courts

Tue, 2021-11-09 09:25 — mike kraft

In a 28-page filing before the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which temporarily blocked the mandate with a nationwide stay last week, the Justice Department argued that the rule was necessary to protect workers from the pandemic and was well grounded in law.
