Over the years, I’ve referred to a Magic 8 ball, tea leaves, a crystal ball and more to make predictions in what will happen in the upcoming year. In 2023, I noted that various bills would come up for consideration in the state legislature but that it was unclear whether any could muster enough support
With the end of the year finally here, I know I could do yet another post on the OSHA vax-or-test standard given that the Supreme Court on Wednesday announced expedited oral arguments on the legality of that rule and the vaccine mandate for healthcare workers.

For many years, I’ve used my first post each year to look back and ahead at the area of employment law. My record of predictions has been about what you would expect someone predicting the future — about average.
