Hundreds of City Workers Protest Against Vaccine Mandate in LA
Mandatory vaccination for civil servants and municipal workers has been
met with resistance across the US, with many opponents
ready to leave their jobs in order to avoid getting a jab. Public discontent has raised concerns over staff shortages, especially in some crucial services, like
firefighters and police.
Hundreds of mandatory vaccination opponents gathered in Grand Park in Los Angeles for a March for Freedom rally on Monday, shortly after city authorities introduced a vaccination
deadline for municipal workers, set for
December 18.
California mandated vaccinations for public sector workers for several months in accordance with federal and local government orders, but some cities, including
Los Angeles, have
adopted stricter requirements, stipulating that employees must be vaccinated and
cannot be routinely tested as an alternative.
