New York could fire as many as 3,000 unvaccinated city workers on Friday
“New York City on Friday is expected to fire as many as 3,000 municipal workers who have refused to get coronavirus vaccines.
They make up a small fraction of the city’s employees — less than 1 percent. But they would probably represent the most drastic example of a work force reduction tied to a coronavirus vaccine mandate. Mayor Eric Adams has said that he would prefer not to fire the unvaccinated, but by remaining so, they were ‘quitting.’
They are not going quietly. Hundreds marched across the Brooklyn Bridge on Monday, chanting that the city should end the mandate and carrying signs that said ‘Unvaccinated Lives Matter’ and ‘Fire Fauci.’ Mr. Adams has reaffirmed the city’s ultimatum: They will be the ones fired unless they get at least one shot.”
