NYC Fires 1,430 Employees For Defying Vaccine Mandate
On Monday, New York City confirmed that it had fired 1,430 municipal workers for refusing to comply with its COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
“The workers who were let go fell into two categories: new hires who got their first dose but never submitted proof of their second dose, and staff who were placed on leave without pay and opted out of their health coverage because they refused to get vaccinated,” Politico reported. “The city fired just two workers in the first category and 1,428 employees in the second. Another almost 1,000 city workers in the second category who were on leave without pay chose to get the shot before the termination deadline last week.”
“Our goal was always to vaccinate, not terminate, and city workers stepped up and met the goal placed before them,” Democrat Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement, according to Politico.
“Out of all the new city employees who received notices two weeks ago, only two who worked last week are no longer employed by the city. I’m grateful to all the city workers who continue to serve New Yorkers and ‘Get Stuff Done’ for the greatest city in the world,” he added.
The mass firings come as New York City continues to struggle to economically recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, with an unemployment rate that is double the national average.
“The city’s unemployment rate of 9.4 percent is more than double the national average, and its decline in recent months was largely caused by people dropping out of the labor force,” The New York Times reported at the end of 2021.
According to New York State Assemblyman Clyde Vanel, New York City cannot handle the cost of losing any workers.
“We want to make sure that New York is a place that you want to live, you want to go to school here, we want you to go to school here, we want you to work here, we want you to stay here – I hope that this Mayor will do the right thing, I believe that he will,” Vanel said.

Who in their right mind would WANT to come to this state? NY is the most EXPENSIVE, RESTRICTIVE, HIGHEST TAXED state in the union, besides CA! NY cares NOTHING for it’s residents. Albany is more corrupt than Washington DC!!! This once beautiful state has been infected with failed liberal policies, so much so that over 352,000 people have LEFT! To hell with NYS… I know I’m leaving as soon as I can….

The SSA uses the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Offset Provision (GPO) to reduce earned SS Benefits from thousands of retired public servants (public school employees/police officers/fire fighters/State military reserve personnel/etc) in 26 States who earned SS Benefits from previous employment. The Federal/State governments does not allow these citizens to pay SS taxes and invest in SS while employed as a public servant. They are required to invest in various State Retirement Systems. The WEP/GPO was the brainchild of former President Jimmy Carter and supported by Democrats and Republicans. There are two Bills currently in Congress, House Bill HR82 and Senate Bill S1302 which repeals WEP/GPO. Despite 58% of the House and 33% of the Senate claiming they support the repeal of WEP/GPO they refuse to vote on the Bills and show who truly supports the Bills and who is lying for votes. President Biden claimed he supported the repeal of WEP/GPO while campaigning but now remains silent and wants to find other ways to penalize retirees and support illegals

Terminating these employees is in direct disregard of Our Constitution. The mandates are illegal,the vaccine is unreliable,unsafe, & unproven for successfully combating COVID. The Biden admin is applying “guinea pig” techniques to PEOPLE. These terminated employees, over the years of dedicated server service, have been exposed to & survived an enormous amts of filth, germs, completely void of any sanitation. Yet, they are terminated for illegal actions. Politicians that violate the laws of our America, by so doing disregard the Constitution, commits treason, jeopardizes America’s Safety, socialistic, racist, unrest, etc ARE NOT POLITICIANS! THEY ARE CRIMINALS!!! Remove from office & persecute to the fullest extent of the law IMMEDIATELY!
