Thousands of NYC workers to lose jobs Friday as vaccine deadline endsBy Lee Brown
February 11, 2022
Thousands of unvaccinated Big Apple city workers are set to lose their jobs Friday, which marks the end of the grace period to get a COVID-19 jab.
Nearly 4,000 of the city’s roughly 400,000 municipal employees are currently at risk of getting axed under the divisive mandate made by the previous administration in October, the city has said.
Current Mayor Eric Adams confirmed this week that he will go ahead with the terminations despite legal objections and a swell of protests, including a march to City Hall planned for early Friday.
“We’re not firing them. People are quitting,” Adams insisted at a news conference Thursday.
