Healthcare workers who are fired for refusal to comply with the state’s COVID-19 vaccination mandate likely won’t be eligible for unemployment insurance, according to state officials.
In a statement released Sept. 25, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office said the New York Department of Labor has issued guidance to clarify that terminated workers won’t be eligible for the benefits unless they have a valid physician-approved request for medical accommodation.
The governor’s office made the announcement at the same time it unveiled a plan to address staffing shortages should a large number of healthcare workers leave hospitals and other facilities because of the state mandate.
New York’s mandate requires healthcare workers at hospitals and nursing homes to receive their first vaccine dose by Sept. 27. Workers at additional entities covered by the mandate, including diagnostic and treatment centers, home health agencies, long-term home healthcare programs, school-based clinics and hospice care programs, must have at least one dose by Oct. 7.
“Workers in a healthcare facility, nursing home, or school who voluntarily quit or are terminated for refusing an employer-mandated vaccination will be ineligible … absent a valid request for accommodation because these are workplaces where an employer has a compelling interest in such a mandate, especially if they already require other immunizations,” according to the New York Department of Labor website.
Ms. Hochul’s office has said the state will consider deploying National Guard members, as well as partnering with the federal government to deploy disaster medical assistance teams to help local healthcare systems. The office said the governor’s plan also includes the preparation of a state of emergency declaration to boost workforce supply and allow qualified healthcare professionals licensed in other states or countries, recent graduates, retired and formerly practicing healthcare professionals to practice at New York facilities.

This is politics playing medicine without any scientific backing while doing the totalitarian tiptoe. Resistance is mandatory if you value human freedom and dignity.
Obviously, everyone needs to keep fighting these ILLEGAL ‘mandates’. BUT, ultimately……this IS A WAITING GAME!! MOST of those who have been injected will either be DEAD, or incapacitated (physically/mentally) due to being injected, here in THE NEAR FUTURE. When THEY ALL DIE (or are too ill to do anything)……WE WIN! We are ALREADY WINNING!!! Just, be patient, people!! When we re-build a HUMAN Society…..we WILL have the ‘talent’ to do so.
YES! We are winning. The predators’ desperation is palpable now. Take a whiff!
How is our loved ones who were duped into this test trial, how them dying constitutes “us” winning?
We are at war. No war ever ends without death and injury to some, whether they go courageously knowing (awakened and unafraid) or innocently believing (asleep and fearful).
Drowning ourselves in grief and anger, when so much of it is available, debilitates positive forward action and our absolute knowledge that we cannot give up or give in. That’s how we are winning. Do you want to stand with free Americans or be enslaved by tyranny? That’s the choice. There is no other.
If this is done to their brothers and sisters in the medical field, every Nurse, Doctor, Care-worker or paramedic should immediately go on strike and refuse to return until each and every one of their fellow workers are reinstated. How dare they threaten this to people who put their lives on the line for everyone else. Shame on them!😠
Wrongful Dismismisal. Sue them if they fire you

…”Hochul’s office has said the state will consider deploying National Guard members, as well as partnering with the federal government to deploy disaster medical assistance teams to help local healthcare systems.” If it’s not been clear to you who will be among the upcoming trials for criminal acts against humanity the list is shaping up quite nicely and with complete clarity. Hochul is certainly holding her place at the front of that line, including but not limited to: Cuomo, Brown, Newsome Grisham-Lujan, Ivey, Polis, Inslee. They have each supported Biden’s rein of terror, ignoring ALL law at every turn, ignoring… Read more »
