NYC City Workers Vaccine Mandate Update

New York City Workers, the Mandate, and the Courts.

NYPD:

A Staten Island Judge, on Wednesday, shot down a last-minute attempt by the NYPD’s Largest Police Union, to fight the City’s Mandate ordering cops to get jabbed this week.

Richmond County Supreme Court Judge, Lizette Colon, ruled that Mayor Bill de Blasio can Enforce his COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate that Requires all City Workers, including Members of the NYPD, to get their First Dose by Friday 5 p.m., or else be placed on Unpaid Leave.

The Head of the Police Benevolent Association (PBA) said though Union Lawyers, will be in Court on Thursday, to Appeal the Ruling to New York’s Appellate Division as the hours tick down to the Deadline.

FDNY:

1 In 5 Ambulances, Fire Companies, Could Be Offline Monday, as NYC Workers Fight Vaccine Mandate.

The Head of the New York City Fire Department, says Staffing Shortages could Shut up to 20% of Firehouses next Monday, once the City’s COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate goes into effect.

FDNY Commissioner, Daniel A. Nigro, said he would also predict 20% fewer Ambulances on the road.

Nigro said FDNY is bracing for the potential Shortages by Canceling All Vacation days, starting November 1st, requiring People to work Overtime, and Reassigning Uniformed Employees who typically work Desk Jobs, back into the Field at Firehouses across the City.

Sanitation Workers:

Trash is Piling-Up and Sanitation Workers blame Mayor de Blasio’s Vaccine Mandate.

Sanitation Workers, outraged over the Order to get Inoculated against COVID-19, are letting Trash pile up across Staten Island and in parts of Brooklyn, and the Head of their Union, said Wednesday, that he’s on their side.

The Protesting Workers are engaging in a Rule-Book Slowdown, that includes Returning to their Garages, for things like Gloves or Gas, so Collections don’t get Finished.
