Members of New York’s finest are pushing back against Covid-19 vaccine mandates to the point of civil disobedience.
On Wednesday, the head of the New York City firefighters union said that he told unvaccinated members to report for duty regardless of an order from Mayor Bill de Blasio threatening to place them on unpaid leave if they refuse to take the jab, according to Reuters.
“I have told my members that if they choose to remain unvaccinated, they must still report for duty,” said Andrew Ansbro, president of the Uniformed Firefighters Association. “If they are told they cannot work, it will be the department and city of New York that sends them home. And it will be the department and the city of New York that has failed to protect the citizens of New York,” he added.
