Yankee Stadium Waitress Files Lawsuit Against NYC Mayor Eric Adams Over Athlete Vaccine Exemption
A longtime Yankee Stadium waitress filed a lawsuit against New York City Mayor Eric Adams Friday, seeking to overturn the vaccine exemption for pro athletes.
Per the New York Post, Virginia Alleyne has called the vaccine exemption an “abuse of discretion.”
“For him [Adams] to allow millionaires to work and to punish the workers who are the lifeblood of this city is just horrendous,” Alleyne said. “So many workers have lost their jobs, yet he’s rewarding the millionaires because he doesn’t want them coming after him. We are being punished by a blatant and egregious double standard.”
Alleyne, 57, is a single mom who was placed on unpaid leave from her job at the stadium’s high-end restaurant Legends Suite Club in September, after choosing not to get vaccinated. Alleyne told the Post that she has remained unvaccinated for religious reasons. She is not seeking any lost wages.
