Several thousand New York City municipal employees are expected to lose their jobs tomorrow for refusing to comply with the coronavirus vaccine mandate. Many Employees already put on unpaid leave months ago for refusing to get the shot will be let go under rules set by the previous de Blasio Administration. This includes first responders and teachers. Democratic Councilman Robert Holden says this is wrong.
“To me it’s just government overreach. I think some people will realize this years from now I think when we look back and say we fired four thousand city employees and now we have a shortage.”
Mayor Adams says employees can still file a religious or medical exemption request that will be reviewed by the city.
