Victory! Judge Strikes Down Vax Mandate for ALL City Employees in NYC. "The city's vaccine mandate is unconstitutional, violates the separation of powers ... arbitrary and capricious."
Attorney Chad LaVeglia walked out of the courtroom today and shared some great news for the unvaccinated city workers of New York City.
So my name is Chad LaVeglia. I’m an attorney who gets to represent these fine men and women over here. What just happened was the judge [Porzio] found that the city’s vaccine mandate is unconstitutional, violates the separation of powers — found it to be arbitrary and capricious. He found the commissioner’s order, mandating private and public employees to get vaccinated, was arbitrary and capricious.
And now, it’s null and void, essentially. So we just defeated the vaccine mandate for every single city employee — not just sanitation, FDNY, NYPD, Department of Corrections. For all the brave men and women who have been our first responders and have been brave through all this are now free, and you should be able to go back to work.
