Over 300 Unvaccinated NYC Workers Send Letter to Lawmakers in Albany, NY

Workers call for Albany to pass the "Let Us Work" bill to reinstate fired unvaxxed workers

Medical Freedom Fighters at the Capitol in Albany, NY

Right as Medical Freedom fighters are planning to head to Albany, NY on January 14, 300 unvaccinated NYC workers who were fired or displaced from their jobs call on Albany leadership to pass the Let Us Work bill sponsored by Jaime Williams. This bill calls for unvaxxed NYC workers to be reinstated to our jobs.

This is the third letter sent by this group known as NY WORKERS FOR CHOICE. The first was sent to President-Elect Trump, and his office responded to us. The next letter was sent to NYC’s City Council.

December 30, 2024

Andrea Stewart-Cousins, Majority Leader of the NYS Senate

Rob Ortt, Minority Leader of the NYS Senate

Carl Heastie, Speaker of the NYS Assembly

William Barclay, Minority Leader of the NYS Assembly

Dear NYS Legislators:

As unvaccinated workers fired or displaced for declining the COVID-19 shot, we are asking you to co-sponsor the LET US WORK Bill sponsored by Assemblywoman Jaime Williams. The bill's number from last session is A9196, but obviously a new number will be assigned to the bill in 2025.

In the fall of 2021, thousands of well-performing New York employees, including but not limited to firefighters, police officers, teachers, social workers, sanitation workers, medical doctors, nurses, plumbers, doormen and court officials, were unlawfully placed on leave without pay and subsequently terminated without due process by the duplicitous leaders of New York for non-compliance with the unconstitutional COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Many New York City workers were not served with a final notice of leave without pay, charge or notice of termination, as required by law. Other New York workers had to choose under duress to take the COVID-19 shot in order to keep making a living. Others were coerced into early retirement, waiving their labor rights, resigning, accepting demotions or losing job opportunities.This mass reduction in New York’s workforce has caused critical staff shortages. Former Mayor Bill de Blasio, his then Health Commissioner Dave Chokshi, Mayoral Expert Advisor Jay Varma, Mayor Eric Adams and his then Health Commissioner Ashwin Vasan, Governor Kathy Hochul and her then Health Commissioner Mary Bassett are only a few of the political leaders and health bureaucrats who violated our constitutional and labor rights. Leaders from several government agencies embraced the vaccine mandate and cooperated in removing employees, as did union leaders. New York City not only terminated municipal workers on and before February 11, 2022, but it poured salt on the wound when on March 24, 2022, Mayor Eric Adams lifted the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for "high-earning athletes and performers" remarking that they “were important to the City’s economy” as if cops, medical professionals, teachers, firefighters, doormen and other workers were insignificant. These leaders’ actions also led to the closing and downsizing of businesses.

In the summer of 2022, forced-out New York City workers had reason to hope that the vaccine mandate would end due to a significant drop in COVID-19 cases, as well as emerging information that COVID-19 vaccines did not “prevent infection and transmission.” On August 11, 2022, Dr. Ashwin Vasan even told The Washington Post that the “population-wide measures” like masks and vaccine mandates were “emergency measures.” However, Dr. Vasan did not end the vaccine mandate in August 2022 despite saying that “we were not in an emergency.”

To add insult to injury, on September 20, 2022, Mayor Eric Adams announced the ending of the COVID-19 mandate for private sector workers but not for the public sector. Based on what has transpired, it is fair to conclude that Mayor Eric Adams’ differential treatment actions against unvaccinated public workers are deeply un-American.

In February 2023, the fired NYC Department of Education (DOE) unvaccinated employees were horrified to learn that they had been blacklisted as the DOE had placed a "Problem Code" in their personnel files and sent their fingerprints with a flag to the FBI and New York Crime Justice Services, hindering their ability to find work. On June 23, 2023, nine members of the United States Congress from New York, led by Representative Nick Langworthy (R-NY), stepped in and sent a letter to then NYC Schools Chancellor David Banks inquiring into the reasons behind these damaging problem codes. Chancellor Banks flouted his fiduciary responsibility and ignored the federal government by failing to respond for over 18 months. He “resigned” in September 2024 under the cloud of the FBI investigation into the Adams administration. On December 2, 2024, Congressman Langworthy and other Republican members of the New York delegation sent another letter to NYC Schools Chancellor Melissa Áviles-Ramos regarding the same issue, but she has not responded as of yet. The NYC officials' disregard of the federal government and lack of accountability are concerning and reprehensible.

Much has changed over the past three years since the unlawful vaccine mandate firings and destruction of business, and there are many revelations in addition to Dr. Vasan’s little seen Washington Post interview and Louder With Crowder’s recent video of Dr. Jay Varma, in which Varma boasted that the lockdowns were unnecessary and that he convinced then Mayor de Blasio to unilaterally remove the "vax-or-test" option announced in July 2021, so workers would “just give up” and take the COVID-19 vaccine. In the video, Varma also confides that he himself was non-compliant with lockdown “rules” and that he obtained and consumed the illegal drug “Molly” at his so-called “lockdown parties” where he failed to “social distance,” to put it mildly.

Several more of the highest-level health officials who pushed the rush to market of COVID-19 vaccines and supported isolating lockdowns and trauma causing mandates have since admitted under oath that they made false statements about COVID-19 vaccine efficacy and safety, such as Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx, to name only two.

As you may know, the recent Congressional Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic report released on December 2, 2024 has confirmed what unvaccinated workers have been saying for several years–that vaccine mandate policies did not aid the public health and in fact caused massive side effects such as health problems, destruction of businesses, labor force shortages and academic failure.

Thousands of unvaccinated workers nationwide have gone through hell due to the COVID-19 vaccine mandates. For the past three years, New York workers had our wages illegally seized, which has led to the loss of income, loss of property, loss of medical insurance, denial of unemployment insurance, poverty, humiliation, emotional distress and family discord. Many of us have gone from having a good income with a plan for retirement to meet our basic needs and secure our family well-being, to living hand to mouth, losing our homes and other assets, having to move in with family and friends or car-camping, and even move to other states and countries. Some of us were foreclosed upon. Some ended up in the shelter and welfare systems. At least one committed suicide.

The morale and mental health of all New York workers, both public and private sectors, have been dealt a severe blow by the vaccine mandate firings and loss of businesses. Many workers have taken legal actions against the State and City of New York, unions and other parties involved in the hope of correcting the irreparable harm. In several cases, the Courts have ruled in favor of the unvaccinated, but relief has not been awarded because Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams have kept ignoring the hearing outcomes and appealing the decisions at the taxpayers’ expense. This is a reckless use of public funds and a further assault on our constitutional and labor rights. In fact, according to available records, in September 2023, Mayor Eric Adams hired thirty-two additional attorneys at a taxpayer cost of about $5,000,000.00 a year, just to keep up with the lawsuits filed by the fired employees who tirelessly worked without vaccines nor PPE during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. His actions are outrageous.

Justice for the unvaccinated in New York has not been served. During numerous public appearances, Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams have pledged to protect the undocumented migrants who have breached immigration law. Nevertheless, they have failed to protect the constitutional and labor rights of the law-abiding unvaccinated workers.

In February 2023, at the same time Mayor Eric Adams arrogantly said about the unvaccinated workers that "their backpay is the pay they got when they took another job," he was advocating for expedited work permits for illegal migrants; and he has spent $4.8 billion of the People's money on migrant housing and services in 2023 and 2024 alone.

Despite Governor Kathy Hochul announcing on February 17, 2023 that there were thousands of government jobs available in New York, she ignored the fact that there were fired unvaccinated workers ready and willing to work. To our dismay, on October 2, 2023, Governor Hochul announced that 18,000 state jobs would be made available for illegal migrants. By 2024, she said she wanted to "fast-track" new migrants for those jobs.

Even now in 2024, the DOE continues to mistreat and target its “terminated” unvaccinated workers through a new injustice, sending "invoices" to some of us, claiming we were “overpaid” back in 2021 at the time we were prohibited from coming to work, a claim that NYC Councilwoman Joann Ariola has called, “an outrage.”

The future of New York State and New York City is grim if our leadership is permitted to continue investing the People’s tax money in our destruction, spending on illegal migrants and unjust appeals of virtuous worker lawsuits. Based on Court and jury decisions rendered in Virginia, Michigan, California, Illinois and Colorado, New York appears to be the only state that has not awarded relief to its unlawfully terminated workers. Other states are trying to correct course while New York’s social fabric and workforce continue to be destroyed.

It is our understanding that public officers, including elected officials from all three branches of government, take an oath of fidelity to the Constitution or office they represent, not to a political party or agenda, and they are legally obligated to uphold the law.

For the past years, unvaccinated workers have been contacting our New York State legislators to ask them to vote “Yes” on NYS Assembly bill A9196A and its companion Senate bill S7466A. Both bills, if made into law, would reinstate thousands of unlawfully terminated workers. However, they have not been brought to a vote.

In New York City, the Common Sense Caucus of the City Council has led the way on Resolution 5 (aka the LET US WORK Resolution), which also calls for the reinstatement of the terminated workers.We have sent emails, made phone calls, submitted written testimonies, attended in-person hearings at City Hall, held rallies and attended press conferences to urge all Council members to bring this bill to a vote. Yet despite time passing and our ongoing outreach, this bill has been delayed. On December 17, 2024, we were informed that the City Council would finally vote on Resolution 5 on December 19, 2024. Shockingly, on December 18, 2024, we were notified that they suddenly chose to take the Resolution 5 vote off their agenda. On December 18, 2024, we wrote a letter to the City Council expressing our strong disagreement to this unexpected move.

Despite all the cruelty and financial hardship unvaccinated workers are faced with, we are standing firm in our pursuit of justice. Therefore, we respectfully demand that the New York State Legislature and New York City Council help us return to work. We are calling for all these legislative bills to be put on the priority agenda for January 2025. Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric must abide by the Court rulings and drop all appeals of our legal cases. New York legislators should consider using the power of the purse to ensure that they comply with the law, if necessary. We also ask for hearings to be held where the perpetrators of the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, in both the public and private sectors, have to explain their motives and actions, as well as be held accountable as part of the process of healing our workforce and businesses from the abuses we have all endured. As unvaccinated workers and business owners, whose lives have been upended, we are seeking “equal access to justice.” In God We Trust!

We look forward to a prompt response.
