On October 24, Ralph Porzio, a judge of the New York State Supreme Court, pronounced de facto for the reintegration and compensation of workers made redundant, in 2021, for not agreeing to be vaccinated against Covid-19. However, the case does not concern health workers, as claimed by Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, but 16 municipal maintenance workers.
The Supreme Court judge held in the decision, that was their exclusion “arbitrary”. Ralph Porzio specifically challenges the decision of the New York mayor to grant differential treatment to employees in the private sector and certain professions regarding the obligation to be vaccinated: “There is nothing in the file that justifies maintaining a vaccination obligation for public sector employees and canceling that obligation for private sector employees, nor creating an exception for some professions, such as artists, athletes or artists “writes Ralph Porzio.
The magistrate also stated this “The vaccine did not prevent contamination”. It was unfair, he said, to sanction the officers they simply had “Chosen not to protect themselves”. But specify a little more that he “This is not a comment on the effectiveness of vaccination, but on how we treat our first responders.”
If Chad LaVeglia, the former employee attorney believes, in a note posted on his blogthat the decision could eventually allow the reinstatement of all suspended ones, he clarifies “The court order on reinstatement and retroactive payment applies only to plaintiffs”.
“Despite what the city says or does, the vaccination obligation is legally dead”, welcomes the same. Perhaps a bit quickly, because the case is not yet closed: the city of New York has announced that it has appealed the decision.
