COVID tyranny continues to grow.
Around 9,000 NYC workers have been put on unpaid leave.
This comes as New York City’s vaccine mandate went into effect.
About 9,000 New York City municipal workers were put on unpaid leave for refusing to comply with a COVID-19 vaccine mandate that took effect Monday and thousands of city firefighters have called out sick in an apparent protest over the requirement, Mayor Bill de Blasio said.
About 9 in 10 city workers covered by the mandate have gotten vaccinated and there have been no disruptions to city services as a result of staffing shortages, de Blasio told reporters at his daily news briefing. New York has more than 300,000 city employees.
Firehouses remained open but 18 of the department’s 350 units were out of service and “many units are understaffed,†Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro said. Sanitation workers made an extra pickup on Sunday to ensure trash wouldn’t pile up, the mayor said.
“I want to thank everyone who got vaccinated,†de Blasio said. “Thank you for getting vaccinated. Thank you for doing the right thing. Thank you for moving us forward.â€
Around 12,000 could still be let go if their religious/medical exemptions aren’t approved:
About 12,000 workers have applied for religious or medical exemptions to the vaccine mandate. They can remain on the job while city officials review those applications.
