On behalf of Harry Nespoli, Chair of the Municipal Labor Committee
State Supreme Court Justice Laurence Love today signed an Order temporarily restraining enforcement of the NYC Health Department mandate requiring vaccination for NYC Department of Education workforces pending a hearing the Court scheduled for Sept. 22, 2021. As you know, the MLC along with other individual unions had brought suit challenging the Vaccine Only mandate as violative of members’ due process rights and for failure to provide for lawfully required medical and religious objections. The MLC anticipates that the City will move against the Order.
