WASHINGTON — Labor Secretary Marty Walsh said Thursday that the federal government has “every right” to impose a vaccine requirement on private businesses to help with workplace safety.
State attorneys general who immediately announced lawsuits against the Biden administration over the workplace mandate should talk to employers in their state and fully read the rules, he said.
“I think it’s unfortunate that at this moment so many states — it just came out seven hours ago — haven’t had a chance to talk to their employers in their states to see what they feel about this,” Walsh said in an interview with McClatchy.
