The Republican National Committee (RNC) on Nov. 5 filed a lawsuit against the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Department of Labor over the vaccine mandate requiring 84 million private-sector workers to get fully vaccinated by Jan. 4, 2022.

The lawsuit (pdf) followed a day after the Biden administration announced mandates for companies with 100 or more employees who will need to get vaccinated or receive weekly testing for COVID-19.
