Lightfoot takes FOP to court over COVID vaccine mandate

October 15, 2021 by Marita Overfelt

Earlier this week, Catanzara discouraged FOP members from reporting their vaccination status to the city, describing it as a dictatorship and suggesting that half of the union would not comply by the deadline and would be sent home from work over the weekend. 

In a statement, the mayor said, “By doing so, and by predicting that 50% or more officers will violate their oaths and not report for duty, Catanzara is encouraging an unlawful strike and work stoppage which carries the potential to undermine public safety and expose our residents to irreparable harm, particularly during an ongoing pandemic.”

“As Chicago’s mayor, I cannot and will not stand idly by while the rhetoric of conspiracy theorists threatens the health and safety of Chicago’s residents and first responders.” 

More to come.
