Congratulations! I hope that you’re successful in your lawsuits to get back pay and damages. The government and employers should never have a say in medical treatments of people/employees. I commend your patience and efforts to get justice. When my employer mandated the vaccine and I didn’t want to take it because of underlying health conditions, I resigned and began teaching as an independent consultant. I worked for a private nonprofit organization, so I did not have teacher retirement and other things on the line. I wish you all the best in your lawsuits and hope you get credit for the years they took away from your service so it counts toward your retirement.
I know - it's also only 1/2 of what we deserve (if that much)
But it is a big deal. There are hundreds of people suing NYC right now who can finally seek reinstatement now, 4 years later, because NYC finally stopped requiring a legal waiver to return. This is a major milestone, one of the big battles we have fought for 4 years.
Now backpay and damages remain in our battles in the courts.
Yes everyone deserves back pay and damages. The hardship stories for many people were heartbreaking to hear. Going forward, the city would be hesitant to even think about doing something like this again. I agree it is a big deal. Never forget

TY SO MUCH!!!!
Fantastic. Who would have thought it would take so long. Justice delayed is justice denied.
