The head of Chicago’s police union said that thousands of officers are willing to walk off the job and leave the city with inadequate law enforcement protection in protest of Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s mandate that all city employees get vaccinated for COVID-19.
In a press conference on Monday, Lightfoot announced that vaccines “are absolutely going to be required” for city workers just hours after the FDA approved the Pfizer jab for people over the age of 16, which took it past its emergency use phase.
The decision also led the Pentagon to order all personnel to get the vaccine as well, as some private sector companies including Goldman Sachs and Delta Airlines joined as well.
In addition, President Joe Biden had previously signed an executive order requiring all two million-plus federal employees to get the shot as well or follow a regular COVID testing plan.
During her press conference, Lightfoot said her administration was still discussing the issue with city unions representing the 33,000-plus employees as to when a mandate would actually drop.
