Thousands of New York City police officers, firefighters and other municipal workers have been placed on unpaid leave Monday for failing to comply with Mayor Bill de Blasio’s coronavirus vaccine mandate.
As of last night, 22,800 municipal workers remained unvaccinated, according to data released by the New York City Mayor’s Office.
“Nine thousand people [were] placed on leave without pay today,” Mitch Schwartz, a spokesperson for the mayor, told Fox News on Monday morning. “The rest are in various stages of having their accommodation requests reviewed. They can be at work.”
