Especially since those private employers twisted their employees' arms (or fired them) not because they thought the employees were a risk, but because there was an OSHA mandate pending that was going to make them do it. The Supreme Court shot that down not long before it would have gone into effect, but a business can't wait until the last minute. There are HR procedures, consultations with legal, and so on that can take months to make sure everything's covered. So a lot of businesses went ahead as if the OSHA mandate were final, and when it got thrown out it was too late.Which is exactly what was intended, so later (like we're seeing now) they could say, "Hey, we didn't make you do it."
