The Associated General Contractors of America has written two letters to federal regulators including one to Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh expressing concern that President Joe Biden's recently announced COVID-19 vaccine mandate for employees of federal contractors and large employers could slow federal projects and exacerbate existing worker shortages.
The other letter was sent to the White House Safer Federal Workforce Task Force that will draft guidance for Biden's Executive Order on Ensuring Adequate COVID Safety Protocols for federal contractors, and to the Federal Acquisition Regulations Council that will write regulations to implement the mandate.
