WHATS THE LATEST ON THE VACCINE MANDATE FOR FEDERAL EMPLOYEES?
-
Currently, the mandate has an injunction on it, and is powerless. Our case was denied in the 5th circuit but we submitted and appeal for an en banc (full panel hearing) and are awaiting their response. This could take days or weeks before we get an answer. You can find more information and documents about our case on our LEGAL UPDATES page...
A TIMELINE OF THE COVID VACCINE MANDATE AND FEDS FOR MEDICAL FREEDOM'S LEGAL APPEALS:
Feds for Medical Freedom’s legal appeals have successfully blocked the implementation of the Biden Administration’s unconstitutional COVID vaccine mandate targeting federal workers and contractors. Without these legal appeals, the mandate would have gone into effect in late 2021.
-
September 9, 2021: Biden issues COVID vaccine mandate targeting federal employees and contractors. The original deadline for being vaccinated is Nov 22, 2021. That delay is pushed back amid employee/contractor resistance and legal challenges.
-
Jan 21, 2022: Judge Jeffrey Brown of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District issues a preliminary federal injunction, blocking implementation of the mandate. Brown says the order poses a substantial threat of irreparable harm to the “liberty interests of employees who must choose between violating a mandate of doubtful validity or consenting to an unwanted medical procedure that cannot be undone.”
-
April 7, 2022: A three judge panel rules 2-1 rule that federal employees must go through an administrative process before turning to the D.C. circuit, vacating Judge Brown’s injunction.
-
May 21, 2022: Feds for Medical Freedom asks for “en banc” review of April 7 decision, meaning a full review by the 17 judges on 5th circuit. They are joined in that request by America’s Frontline Doctors, Airline Employees for Health Freedom, and the New Civil Liberties Alliance.
-
June 28, 2022: Fifth Circuit agrees to en banc hearing – further delaying the implementation of the mandate which could have gone into effect in the near future.

MY EMPLOYER IS DEMANDING I WEAR A MASK AND/OR SUBMIT TO REGULAR TESTING?
WHAT CAN I DO?
-
All masking and testing of ‘only’ unvaccinated employees is discriminatory. We highly encourage you to use the tools available to you, such as EEO complaints, to fight this. We have several groups organized for Agency class EEO complaints and also plenty of guidance for individual cases. We also have guidance on testing and how you can address that under our new MEMBERS RESOURCE page...
