These are: 1) an Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) rule forcing all employers with 100 or more workers to require all employees to be vaccinated (or produce weekly negative COVID-19 tests) and 2) a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) rule requiring vaccination of all health care workers at facilities participating in Medicare and\/or Medicaid.<\/p>\n<p>These two mandates together cover at least two-thirds of all U.S. workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHoosiers and all Americans need effective leadership from President Biden that shows respect for their rights,\u201d Attorney General Rokita said. \u201cSuch leadership requires an approach quite different from imposing these intrusive federal mandates that tilt toward tyranny.\u201d<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/fb.me\/e\/2H62TeQX7\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Watch Attorney General Rokita discuss these issues<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/\">Return to the AroundFortWayne home page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/assorted-photos\/112277.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Indianapolis Star building.
