A fifth of New York firefighters take paid medical leave to avoid vaccine mandate FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro called on his members to 'come to their senses and stop using medical leave improperly' on Monday.
More than a fifth of the New York City Fire Department's workforce has taken paid medical leave in the week leading up to the city's vaccine mandate.
Nigro has slammed the apparent sickout as"bogus" and blasted firefighters who are participating for neglecting their oaths. Nigro said that despite missing nearly a fifth of their members,"the department has not closed any firehouses." De Blasio disputed the union leaders during a Monday press conference, saying"There was lots of time for people to think about" getting vaccinated.
