Many NYC educators fired or displaced for declining covid vaccination are going back to work this September but they have not been “made whole.” They are not getting back pay for being illegally fired or displaced, they are likely losing any tenure they had prior to being fired or displaced, and it is unclear if they are starting at the lowest pay scale or not. By all accounts that I have received, no one is being asked to sign a waiver to return to work at this point in time. The unvaccinated can look for employment in the NYC DOE now and still maintain the right to sue for past damages.
At least three NYC educators returning to school ran into issues with background checks and PROBLEM CODES popping up on their files. Many spoke to me confidentially about their situations. Below is an account of what I have been told maintaining the anonymity of all sources. It was originally prepared as an affidavit but has not yet been submitted to the court, and I left it in affidavit fashion simply not having the time to rewrite it in proper report format. It is important that this information is made public right now (jump down to #10 to get to the meat of the information).
I would estimate a few hundred unvaccinated educators and employees are returning to the NYC DOE this September. – mk
