MAYOR DE BLASIO ANNOUNCES "COMPASSIONATE" VACCINE MANDATE FOR ALL NEW YORK CITY

MUNICIPAL WORKERS
...including First Responders, offering a $500 bonus to each city employee who receives their first shot by Oct. 29, or they will be placed on unpaid leave.

NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio: “If you choose not to (get vaccinated), you have the right to go on unpaid leave. We just won't pay you. You won't lose your job...you have the opportunity to 'correct' and come back. I think that's compassionate"

...The bottom line is, we’re not gonna pay people unless they’re vaccinated.”
