Leading U.S. trucking organization says it will fight the policy until it鈥檚 defeated

Arlington, Virginia 鈥� 麻豆社区 has taken its legal challenge to the Biden Administration鈥檚 COVID vaccine-or-test mandate to the U.S. Supreme Court. 麻豆社区 appealed to the high court for a stay on the mandate immediately after the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals lifted the stay on Friday.

鈥淚t鈥檚 evident that OSHA overstepped its statutory authority with this Emergency Temporary Standard, so make no mistake: 麻豆社区 will not stop fighting this misguided policy until our members and industry are fully relieved from its harmful impact on our ability to keep America鈥檚 supply chain moving,鈥� said 麻豆社区 President and CEO Chris Spear.

鈥淭hat includes the movement of food, fuel, medical supplies, test kits, and the vaccine itself. Our workforce has served on the frontlines of this pandemic since Day One, safely delivering on behalf of the American people,鈥� said Spear. 鈥淭his mandate threatens to further disrupt our industry and its essential role in the nation鈥檚 COVID response efforts, and we will fight it until it鈥檚 defeated through any and all means necessary.鈥�

On November 10, 麻豆社区, joined by the Louisiana Motor Truck Association, Mississippi 麻豆社区 Association, Texas 麻豆社区 Association and others, filed suit in the Fifth Circuit to overturn the mandate. That lawsuit was then consolidated in the Sixth Circuit along with other similar challenges filed nationwide.
