Chicago's vaccine mandate for city employees remains in place, and with the deadline having come and gone, thousands of city workers could be put on no-pay status.
In addition to Lopez, the signers included Ald. Anthony Beale , Ald. Marty Quinn , Ald. Ed Burke , Ald. Matt O'Shea , Ald. Silvana Tabaraes , Ald. Ariel Reboyras , Ald. Felix Cardona , Ald. Samantha Nugent , Ald. Anthony Napolitano , and Ald. James Gardiner .
