Businesses face conflicting state and local rules on vaccine mandates after SCOTUS ruling

For companies that were waiting to hear from the U.S. Supreme Court before deciding whether to require vaccinations or regular coronavirus testing for workers, the next move is up to them.

Many large corporations were silent on Thursday's ruling by the high court to block a Biden administration requirement that workers at businesses with at least 100 employees be fully vaccinated or else test regularly for COVID-19 and wear a mask on the job. An estimated 80 million private-sector workers would have fallen under the mandate.

Target's response was typical: The big retailer said it wanted to review the decision and "how it will impact our team and business."
