COVID Lawsuit
New York City public-sector workers who lost their jobs for refusing to comply with the city's
COVID-19 vaccine mandate on Thursday
filed a $250 million lawsuit against the city and Mayor Eric Adams seeking to end the mandate. The 72 fired workers are demanding the city overturn the mandate, reinstate their jobs and compensate them with punitive damages.
The workers argue the mandate should be found "arbitrary and capricious" given that "President Joe Biden, Governor Kathy Hochul and Senator Chuck Schumer have all declared that the pandemic is over," and that it was already rescinded for private sector employees and students, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit, filed in the
Bronx County Supreme Court of the State of New York, also alleges the plaintiffs were discriminated against with "willful or wanton negligence, or recklessness" and were mocked and ridiculed by their colleagues.
Many of the plaintiffs — formerly with the New York Police Department (NYPD), the New York Fire Department, the Department of Education, the Department of Health and other agencies — worked for the city for more than 20 years
but now are unemployed, have lost their homes and their ability to support their families, the lawsuit states.
