Thousands of unvaccinated municipal workers in NYC could lose their jobs Friday, with Mayor Eric Adams determined to carry out terminations despite objections.
Thousands of unvaccinated New York City municipal workers are up against a deadline on Friday to get a Covid-19 shot or get fired, with Mayor Eric Adams apparently determined to carry out the terminations despite an outcry from union leaders.
Andrew Ansbro, president of the Uniformed Firefighters Association, speaks at a press conference about the firing of FDNY firefighters due to New York City's COVID-19 vaccine mandate deadline, Friday, Feb. 11, 2022, at the union's headquarters in New York.
"We're not firing them - people are quitting," Adams said in response to a question about the vaccine mandate at a Thursday press conference in the Bronx, where he was announcing a healthy food initiative.
