The Daily Wire’s petition against the Biden administration’s order tasking private companies with policing their employees’ COVID-19 health status reached 500,000 signatures on Friday.
The petition hit the half a million benchmark about a week after The Daily Wire filed a lawsuit against President Joe Biden over the mandate, which requires all companies with at least 100 employees to ensure their employees are vaccinated or submit to regular COVID-19 testing. The order penalizes companies up to about $14,000 for every serious violation, and up to about $140,000 for a willful violation.
The Dhillon Law Group and Alliance Defending Freedom are representing The Daily Wire in the legal battle. They filed the lawsuit against the Biden administration on November 4, hours after the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) published roughly 500-pages worth of regulations and standards on Biden’s executive order.
