New York State Supreme Court Judge Lyle Frank ruled that it was unconstitutional to fire police officers for refusing the COVID vaccine. The Police Benevolent Association (PBA) sued the state of New York and won – all police officers who were fired for refusing the vaccine will be rehired.

With back pay, I hope.
now sue them for back pay and emotional distress!
Good luck
Here’s the problem with someone being forced to hire you. They can make you do anything. You’ll get the most dangerous and dirty jobs. In case of cops, I’d imagine you’d be patrolling the worst neighborhoods even if you were previously an administrator. Yeah, I’d be moving on if I was them.
If I had my way, they would have their jobs offered back to them, but wouldn’t have to take it due to being incredibly wealthy due to a backpay/emotional distress settlement from the city never having to work again.
FYI the NY Supreme Court is their first level, their Court of Appeals is what we think of as a “Supreme Court”.
This is the NEW YORK Supreme Court. In New York, the so-called Supreme Court is at the bottom, not the top - everything is upside- down in NY.
They can move on like you say but they’ll be moving on with back pay, damages, and pensions.
I just want conservatives to sue liberals at every opportunity.
I am tired of playing nice with these creeps
How do you “appeal” a Supreme Court decision?
The title is deceptive. It was from the New York State Supreme Court, not the Supreme Court.
In New York the “Supreme Court” refers to a court of general jurisdiction that can hear all types of cases. This compares to a California “Superior Court” or a Maryland “Circuit Court”. The lower courts go by several names and might deal with specific subject matter.
The New York highest court is called the Court of Appeals.
...and be joined by their coworkers who sue for pain and suffering after being coerced into putting themselves at risk for the rest of their lives and potentially their children as well.
Needs to be with back pay and any other associated expenses...
A couple of “footnotes” for those of you who are unfamiliar with NY’s legal system:
The “Supreme Court” is the lowest level trial court having general jurisdiction. There are two levels of appellate review above the Supreme Court.
If NYC appeals the supreme court order of reinstatement to the appellate division — which it probably will — the order will be automatically stayed during the appellate process, which could take 18 to 24 months or more.
If NYC loses at the appellate division, it can make a motion for leave to appeal to the the Court of Appeals (NY’s highest court). The automatic stay will remain in effect until the Court of Appeals decides the motion, a process that can take another 4 to 6 months or more. If the court denies the motion for leave to appeal, the automatic stay expires and the order of reinstatement becomes final. if the court grants the motion for leave to appeal, then the automatic stay of the order will continue until the Court of Appeals decides the appeal, which could take another 8 to 12 months or more.
Assuming NYC exercises all available appellate options, the order of reinstatement will be unenforceable for a minimum of 22 to 30 months.

the phrase “punitive damages” comes to mind.
Even bad credit ratings as a result of being unemployed need to be restored to prior status...
Don’t get too excited. The New York Supreme Court is an ordinary trial court. It’s below the New York Court of Appeals, which is predictably stacked with libs.
