A class-action lawsuit brought by a Staten Island real estate broker filed Wednesday is challenging New York City’s sweeping mandate that requires nearly all private-sector businesses to ban workers who aren’t vaccinated against COVID-19, Newsmax reports.
The lawsuit argues the city’s attempt to control the coronavirus pandemic deprives tens of thousands of businesses from pursuing their livelihoods.
“This case is not about vaccines, but about an employer’s right to be heard when the [Department of Health and Mental Hygiene] and the City pass a sweeping — and first in the nation — law meant to fight the COVID-19 pandemic,” the class action complaint stated.
