COVID New York City Update: A protest is expected for 80,000 New York City employees to go to work

NEW YORK CITY (WABC) – City workers in New York City are scheduled to protest Sunday over the testing and vaccination requirements of Mayor Bill de Blasio before his scheduled return to work.

More than 80,000 non-essential employees are expected to return to work on Monday.

However, the city’s largest public union wants it delayed until January.

There is a weekly test warrant for unvaccinated people that will be included with the message that they should receive the shots.

DC 37, the city’s largest public union, is asking the city to develop a hybrid schedule.

“The only thing that vaccines people right now is to use both incentives and strong mandates. And to say we’re going to back off, back off, back off is a formula for telling people not to get vaccinated and that ‘I won’t go back to fight and serve people the way we need to. I won’t, “from Blasio to WNYC.

The state has pushed back the return of its employees to October 12th.
