Federal Contractors Mandate, is it on? (Verry likely to be ON)

So simple those poor university applicants and students must get vaxxed if they want a traditional degree, still required by most companies, who also require the vax for employment and will forevermore.
Especially since EU has been replaced by authorized

Various Fed leadership types are being called to Washington Sep 1 to discuss what happens next.

Adak anyone?

So the 18th is here, any news? The earlier link still just shows the update from the 14th.

They posted new guidance,

Here in, they say they currently are not enforcing the executive order, until they can create new new guidance. So the directive is status quo until they create new guidance.

Yeah you summarized it well. Here's the important part for anyone who doesn't want to open the pdf

Despite the lifting of the nationwide bar to enforcement on October 18, 2022, at this time agencies
should NOT: (1) take any steps to require covered contractors and subcontractors to come into
compliance with previously issued Task Force guidance; or (2) enforce any contract clauses
implementing Executive Order 14042.

As set forth in the October 14, 2022 Update Regarding Executive Order 14042 from OMB and the Task
Force, the Task Force intends to update its guidance regarding COVID-19 safety protocols for covered
contractor and subcontractor workplace locations. That Task Force guidance will include a timeline for
implementation by contractors and subcontractors. The Director of OMB will also review the updated
Task Force guidance and make a determination regarding whether the new guidance promotes
economy and efficiency in Federal contracting. Such a determination would be published in the Federal
Register pursuant to Executive Order 14042. Thereafter, OMB would issue further guidance to agencies
on their timing and considerations for agencies’ provision of written notice to contractors regarding
enforcement of contract clauses implementing requirements of Executive Order 14042 and agencies’
addition of such clauses to contracts and solicitations, except as barred by any applicable injunctions.
Such guidance from OMB will not be issued prior to the updated Task Force guidance.

I'm curious (and not challenging your assertions), what state does your kid go to school in? I was under the impression CA was still requiring the vaxx, period.

Trying to ask the realist question but why do you guys keep doing this fear mongering stuff?

This is tracking what the government is doing, it's not fear mongering.

Can you show me where the Biden administration has ever concerned themselves with the law? If the mandates come back, how it will go is clear. Government contractor companies will be informed of the updated timeliness for implementation of the mandates. 99% of these companies will comply, because their revenues depend heavily on their government contracts.

Unless a court steps in with a new injunction, the mandates will be fully implemented. Individuals getting fired won't have standing to file their own court cases until after they have been fired. Court cases are expensive, and can be prohibitively so for people who are newly unemployed.
