The ordinance establishes a way back to the job for L.A. city workers who were fired for refusing to get vaccinated.
More than a year after the Los Angeles City Council lifted the city’s declaration of emergency related to the coronavirus, council members on Tuesday, June 11, ended the policy requiring municipal employees to be vaccinated for COVID-19.
In addition, the ordinance established a pathway back to employment for city workers who had been terminated for not adhering to the vaccination policy, and others who may have left voluntarily. Matt Szabo, city administrative officer, told City News Service the sunset date was agreed upon by the unions representing the city’s workers, who also helped the council when it enacted the vaccination policy in 2021.
Workers who left or were terminated due to the policy can reapply for their position, but they are not guaranteed they’ll get it. Department management would handle the hiring process, as usual.US Supreme Court denies California’s appeal for immunity for COVID-19 deaths at San Quentin prison
