New York City will require police officers, firefighters and other municipal workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or be placed on unpaid leave, Mayor Bill de Blasio. The mandate ensures a fight with some of the unions representing them. apne.ws/YsIbT8Q
@AP Imagine working alongside someone who will depend on you to save their life in a hypothetical emergency, yet refuses to protect YOU from a deadly disease that's already killed 700,000.
@AP The city is not FORCING them to do anything. The city is making sure they DON'T expose our kids, elderly, and otherwise vulnerable to death. If you don't care about the people you serve, you should be off the job. #ProtectAndServe is a real thing. Live by that motto or go home.
@AP Mayor McCheese continues to make waves on his way out. Smh
@AP The right to bodily autonomy is universal.
@AP No one is irreplaceable. There are qualified people who would love a good paying civil@service career
@AP Job requirement. Not a mandate. I call it a new requirement.
