A New York State judge reinstated 16 fired sanitation workers who did not comply with New York City’s vaccination mandate issued in October 2021, deciding they should also get back pay….
In a ruling Monday, Judge Ralph Porzio wrote, “There is nothing in the record to support the rationality of keeping a vaccination mandate for public employees, while vacating the mandate for private sector employees or creating a carveout for certain professions, like athletes, artists and performers. This is clearly an arbitrary and capricious action because we are dealing with identical unvaccinated people being treated differently by the same administrative agency.”
