The low rate of vaccination compliance by New York’s finest has lame duck Mayor Bill de Blasio threatening to withhold pay checks from the police and other city workers.
Under the mayor’s mandate, all city workers must be vaccinated or be tested weekly for the disease. That order goes into effect on Monday,with an estimated 340,000 city workers under its guidelines.
“If someone, again, does not follow that mandate, that’s true, eventually, they’re not going to be paid, obviously,” de Blasio said in a press conference on Thursday.
The mayor has long had a contentious relationship with NY police, who feel his backing of no bail and lax incarceration of repeat offenders make their job more difficult.
As of this week, 53% of NYPD employees have received one dose of the vaccine, compared to about 79% of adults in New York City, according to data obtained by the Gothamist from the NYC department of health.
The NYPD has among the lowest vaccination rates of any city agency, the New York Times previously reported.
The Police Benevolent Association of the City of New York, the largest municipal police union in the world, said it will oppose the mayor. It claims that since police will not be paid during the time spent being tested (something they were promised) that members have a right not to comply.

And unvaxxed AND will still be paid by DeBlasio so long as they don’t kill anybody.
No checky, no worky.
This has to be a veiled (thinly) threat of termination. There’s no way the idiot can withhold pay from employees who have already put in their time.
Either way...good on them!
Earth to NYC - storming the mayor’s office and dragging him to the guillotine will be a lot less work than the French had to do. Think about it. The police will probably help.
Wage and Hour Board and Dept. of Labor should reject that idea. Now, if he wants to fire them, then they have grounds to fight back.
I believe defrauding a worker of their agreed upon wages is a sin that cries out to heaven for vengeance
Deblasio has instructed the judges to release them without bail anyway.
Arrest him for theft and deal with him like a thug when he resists.
This is just another coercion attempt. They hope to get the officers to get the vaccine or quit because they aren’t getting paid. Then they can’t sue for being fired.
So, the free burgers and Krispy Kreme donuts didn’t work?
What is concerning to me, is the rise of the acceptance of slavery. Forcing someone to work without wages is slavery. Forcing someone to under go a medical procedure without their consent is slavery. Restricting a citizens movement is slavery.
It is telling how quick that the left wants to implement slavery of citizens.
They should all call in with the blue flu.
Yup—any cops who haven’t already bailed because the mayor is a jerk will start doing so now....
Continue the beatings until morale improves!

NYPD, please do not provide any security for this man any of his staff and family. Also make it a point to leak their whereabouts and travel plans daily.
I’m not a police officer for any force. I have love and respect for what they agree to do for our protection on a daily basis. It truly is a thankless job.
I can only speak for myself when I say that threatening me with the loss of my job or wellbeing because I’m not taking the clot shots only strengthens my resolve not to get injected with their globalist poison.
His term ends dec 31 2021.
