    Is it possible they had an advanced notice about the ETS to be issued? Or is this letter perhaps a fabrication?

    Maybe the former…

    I'm not ready to throw them under the bus yet. No one knows what the final rule will be, of what will be required for documentation for exemptions, or if weekly testing will be allowed.

    I have read one of the things they are considering doing is increasing the maximum fine for willful, repeat (3 times or more) violations from $70,000 to $700,000.

    If OSHA were to show up every week and issue a fine for every employee not vaccinated or with an improper exemption, it could bankrupt most companies rather quickly.

    With the current administration, I could easily see them sending OSHA to target the firearm industry first. That could become their indirect gun control.

    Of course nothing is set in stone, but the odds are, if it does happen, there likely won't be much of a grace period to become compliant.

    OSHA has issued no new regulations. It will though. Bank on it. Of an Org is a gov’t contractor- it must comply. The tier 1 and 2 suppliers are sending notices to their vendors that compliance is mandatory or contracts are cancelled. Effective 12/5/21. I stand to lose some reallly good folks because of this. Where they will find employment is unknown.

    Corporations are just like politicians. Interrupt their cash flow and theyll sell their souls to get out of the red. Given how insane the federal government is today, I wouldnt want to take their money anyway
    If 50% of your Org’s revenue is tied to Fed work in one form or another, and you employed 800 people, you’d be mighty interested taking that money tied to gov’t contracts. Understand- not all of this money is from the Feds. Very little actually. The dollars come to my Org from the tier contractors. You don’t understand how this mandate works.

    We come from two different worlds. Id never work with the government in the first place and Id pick my integrity over money any day of the week. But thats why I am not a CEO. I dont expect you to subscribe to the same set of personal beliefs as me or for your circumstances to be the same as mine.

    While this is the nicest way to tell people they need to get the jab to keep their job, this is very disappointing. Surprising? No, but disappointing. Maybe Steve Hornady should've told people "If you have a religious or medical objection to this, please make sure you talk to HR ASAP so we can process your request and resume business as usual."
    That's a pretty weak move on their part.

    In and Out isn't a "government contractor" - the definition of "government contractor" seems awfully broad it seems. Government buys shit from you? Boom, government contractor, it seems. I guess if ol' Bo Jiden decided to take everyone on his cabinet out to an In and Out for lunch, and uses the FedGov credit card, he'd consider them a "government contractor" too.

    Here's a thought - Hornady could've just said "No, we're not going to comply" and told the feds "we're cancelling your order and refunding deposits on product not yet delivered" - there's more than enough consumer demand at this point to make up for it.

    Compliance just keeps the bullshit flowing.

    That place east of Waco....
    The major ammo makers don't care about civilian sales as much as they do Gov contracts. That's their bread and butter. Stuff like this makes me more interested in finding smaller ammo companies that don't get Gov contracts.... like local reloaders and makers like Freedom Munitions.

    Yep, it is counter-intuitive. You would think they would all run from a fixed price, low-bidder market, but they actually all run to it. Probably why so many of them eventually fail and go OOB.
