Staff Emergency: 24K Workers at Home as New York Mandate Takes Grip

New York workers have warned that lives could be lost with emergency response times likely to grow as a result of staff being forced out over COVID-19 vaccines.

It's reported more than 24,000 city workers have been placed on unpaid leave, including 8000 cops, 3700 fire dept. Employees and nearly 2000 sanitation workers.

Over 26 fire stations were shuttered over the week, while incidents like a man throwing a Molotov cocktail into a Brooklyn deli came to light over the weekend.

With Mayor de Blasio's $500 bonus for getting a first jab now expired, it's unclear if the staffing shortage will improve as emergency services begin begging for volunteers!
