New York Supreme Court reinstates all employees fired for being unvaccinated, orders backpay

New York Supreme Court reinstates all employees fired for being unvaccinated, orders backpay. About time we got some uncucked judges who have brains.

The court found that “being vaccinated does not prevent an individual from contracting or transmitting COVID-19.” New York City Mayor Eric Adams claimed earlier this year that his administration would not rehire employees who had been fired over their vaccination status.

NYC alone fired roughly 1,400 employees for being unvaccinated earlier this year after the city adopted a vaccine mandate under former Mayor Bill de Blasio.

Many of those fired were police officers and firefighters.
