On October 24, 2022, New York Supreme Court Judge Ralph Porzio ruled in favor of 16 New York City sanitation workers who sued the city after they were fired for defying the city's vaccine mandate. Judge Porzio's decision in George Garvey et al v. City of New York et al struck down the vaccine mandate not only for the plaintiffs but for all NYC municipal workers. As the plaintiffs' attorney Chad LaVeglia said outside the Staten Island courthouse where the ruling was handed down, “We just defeated the vaccine mandate for every single city employee.” Watch exclusive interviews of LaVeglia and DSNY workers who were plaintiffs in the case as they left the courthouse.

At an October 24, 2022 hearing at the Richmond County Courthouse in Staten Island, New York State Supreme Court Judge Ralph Porzio ruled in favor of 16 Department of Sanitation (DSNY) workers who sued the city after being fired for defying NYC’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. The judge’s decision in George Garvey et al v. City of New York et al struck the mandate down not only for the 16 named plaintiffs and other DSNY employees, but for all New York City municipal workers. As the plaintiffs’ attorney Chad LaVeglia put it, “We just defeated the vaccine mandate for every single city employee.” Although the city filed an appeal later the same day, LaVeglia said he believes the lack of a clear emergency makes it unlikely to succeed, since the mandates were issued as executive orders on the basis of a state of emergency.

On October 12, 2022, retired New York City public employees and current city workers marched from City Hall to the headquarters of the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) to protest potential changes to their health care benefits. The New York City Organization of Public Service Retirees sued the city in 2021 over plans to shift retirees from Medicare to a private Medicare Advantage plan, and the court ruled in their favor early this year on the basis of City of New York Administrative Code, section 12-126. In a closed-door meeting on September 8, the Municipal Labor Committee (MLC), a coalition of New York City unions including the UFT, voted to approve an amendment to section 12-126 that, if passed by City Council, could open the door to a reversal of the retirees' victory in court and an increase in their health care costs. The city has appealed the decision, and the case is due back in court on October 27.
