The conflict between the OSHA rule (which has not been published yet) and Abbott’s decree puts Texas businesses in an uncomfortable position. Large employers can either listen to him, risking federal fines by defying OSHA, or ignore him, risking state fines by flouting one of the governor’s “emergency” orders.

The Houston Chronicle reports that “major corporations based in Texas, including Southwest Airlines and American Airlines,” said “they would abide by Biden’s rules over Abbott’s.” What about the owners of smaller companies who have concluded that requiring vaccination makes good business sense? Abbott thinks their opinions don’t matter.
