NYC Teachers And School Staff Must Get Vaccinated


It’s Official, after a Judge’s Ruling: New York City Teachers and School Staff, will be Required to get Vaccinated against Covid-19, by Monday.

The Mandate from Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) sparked a weekslong Fight with City Workers Unions, who Sued to Challenge the Requirement.

And it looked like the Mandate, might get bogged down in a Court Battle, after State Supreme Court Justice, Laurence Love, last week, issued an Order temporarily Barring the Requirement from taking effect.

But in a New Ruling Wednesday, he allowed the Mandate to Proceed as Scheduled.

He did Not mince words, writing that the Union argument that the Rule Violates Constitutional Rights “simply does not pass the smell test.”

So that leaves a few Days for Thousands of Teachers and other School Staff to get their First Shot, or face Employment Consequences.

The latest Stats show that 80% of Department of Education Staff overall, and 87% of Teachers, have gotten at least One Dose.

The Legal Fight is Not over despite how Blunt the Judge was that the Suit is Not likely to Succeed.

While an Injunction was Denied, the Case will still be heard on the Merits. “This is not the end of the road and we will continue to fight for the right of workers to make their own healthcare decisions,” said DC37 President, Henry Garrido, who said the Vast Majority of his Members are in fact Vaccinated. “For those still making up their minds, force is not the answer.”
