City officials have required employees to receive at least one dose of the vaccine before today.
New York City will lay off 3,000 employees on Friday, Feb. 11, less than one percent of the city’s workers, due to refusal to vaccinate. This was reported yesterday by the publication New Yourk Times.
This is expected to be the most massive job cut in the country that is related to vaccination.
We are talking about city employees such as police officers, firefighters and teachers, and many of these employees should have received at least one dose of the vaccine before Friday.
“We need people to be vaccinated,” Mayor Eric Adams said in an interview last week on NY1. “We don’t want to fire anyone.”
Other cities, such as Boston and Chicago, have also begun requiring vaccinations for city employees and have faced significant opposition from unions and workers. In other cities such as San Francisco, Washington State and Massachusetts, hundreds of workers have lost their jobs.
On Monday, a group of New York City workers protested government demands by marching across the Brooklyn Bridge carrying signs reading “Fire Fauci” and “The Unvaccinated Matter in Life.” Some workers are likely to challenge any layoffs in court.
Earlier it was reported that in New York for vaccination with a booster dose will be issued at $100.
