BREAKING: Chicago Workers Who Refused COVID-19 Vaccines to Be Reinstated with Back Pay and 7% Interest on Top

@COVID19Up: Chicago workers who were fired over refused COVID-19 vaccines today received the ultimate vindication: the city's administrative law judge for a state agency ruled the city has to reinstate workers and make up for lost wages and benefits.

From the Chicago Sun-Times:

"The laid-off unionized Chicago employees will receive back pay, a 7% interest, and will be fully reinstated with seniority.

Unionized City of Chicago employees fired or disciplined for violating COVID-19 vaccination requirements must be reinstated and repaid for any loss of wages or benefits, a state hearing officer has ruled.

Administrative Law Judge Anna Hamburg-Gal said the city violated the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act by not bargaining in good faith over vaccine requirements and changes in sick leave policies. Her ruling, issued Wednesday, requires the city to “make whole” workers who lost pay and benefits, plus 7% annual interest."

These workers are, at last, the winners: they kept their health and their jobs and received full pay. They are still victims of Covid-19 vaccine promoters: no one will compensate them for months of worry, stressing out about not having money, family tensions, and more.
