Chicago mayor loses in court over COVID removals

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., issued a gloating tweet Tuesday in response to news that Chicago has been ordered to rehire and issue back wages to city workers who were fired for refusing to comply with Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot's COVID-19 vaccine mandate in 2021.

On April 19, Hamburg-Gal wrote on behalf of the Illinois Labor Relations Board that the city "failed and refused" to bargain in good faith with union leaders "over the effects of its decision to implement a COVID-19 vaccine mandate," which she ruled was in violation of the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act.

The city is now required to pay back lost wages and benefits with 7% annual interest to unionized Chicago employees who work as carpenters, bricklayers, plumbers, electricians, machinists and other jobs.

Back wages? So they get 2 years pay? That’s awesome.

Even more awesome is that by now, Shitcago would have backfilled a lot of those vacancies, meaning someone’s got to go!

Haha!

Set that precedent!

Why do you own a fire extinguisher when you have the fire department to protect you?

Politicians should wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers so we could see their corporate sponsors.

Not because doing it was wrong, but because it violated labor relations laws.

So it's only good for unionized workers?

I think precedent was set against NY State a few months ago. This is awesome. Corporations need to feel the same wrath. Fuck EVERYONE who exiled people with free will. Fuck them all!

And they want "amnesty"? They can kiss the darkest part of my ass!
