WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) introduced the Reversing Every Vaccine Emergency Requirement and Stopping Employee (REVERSE) OSHA Mandates Act to guarantee that the federal government never imposes medical tyranny on American workers ever again.
The REVERSE OSHA Mandates Act will ensure the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) does not have the authority to require employees to take a drug or vaccine. Essentially, this legislation will prevent future medical mandates from impeding Americans’ ability to earn a living by codifying the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on the OSHA vaccine-or-test rule.
Clyde told Henry Rodgers of the Daily Caller: “After witnessing the Biden Administration’s frightening government overreach and draconian COVID-related rules, Congress has the authority – and the responsibility – to block any future attempts by the Executive Branch to subject the American people to unlawful medical mandates. Forcing workers out of a job if they refuse to take a jab is a wholly unconstitutional power grab that violates Americans’ freedoms, exacerbates labor shortages, and intensifies the supply chain crisis.
“While the U.S. Supreme Court blocked President Biden’s OSHA rule, it is incumbent upon Congress to prohibit this dangerous abuse of power from further tarnishing our nation’s history and subverting American workers’ rights. The REVERSE OSHA Mandates Act is a commonsense and crucial step toward preventing future government overreach by OSHA and defeating medical tyranny, which is why I urge all of my colleagues – on both sides of the aisle – to support this legislation and protect Americans’ medical freedoms.”
