The Epoch Times More than 130 Chicago city workers, consisting of firefighters, health care workers, and other first responders, filed a lawsuit against the cityâs COVID-19 vaccine mandate, arguing the order is unconstitutional.
The lawsuit was filed in Chicagoâs federal court, pushing back against Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzkerâs mandate that health care workers and other state employees must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
The legal move also contrasts the order by Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot that required all city workers to report their vaccination status earlier in October. The lawsuit claimed the state and city mandates are government overreach and are, as a result, ânull and void.â
