Missed collections were reported in Staten Island and Brooklyn. And residents have taken to social media in outrage over the accumulating garbage and to raise concern that the slowdown is intentional in protest of the vaccine mandate.
Mayor Bill de Blasio, who announced last week that city workers were required to have received at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine by Friday at 5 p.m. or be placed on unpaid leave, said that supervisors at the department of sanitation would not allow missed collections to continue, though neither he nor the sanitation department would say if the slowdown was on purpose.
"Anyone who is not doing their job, you're harming your fellow sanitation workers, and you're harming your neighbors, and you're harming your city," de Blasio said. “And it's time to stop.”
In a statement, the sanitation department said it is “aware that there are collection delays.”
City workers from other departments have protested the vaccine mandate, with hundreds of New York Fire Department employees rallying in front of the mayor's residence, Gracie Mansion, on Thursday. The mandate applies to about 100,000 city employees and the New York Police Department.
As of Thursday, 67 percent of New York City sanitation workers had been vaccinated.
De Blasio said he has been in touch with the sanitation department and the union that represents sanitation employees. The department, de Blasio said, has been clear that the slowdown is unacceptable and that "there will be consequences." In the meantime, the sanitation department has canceled days off and will be requiring Sunday shifts to create additional capacity, as needed.
Joseph Mannion, president of the Sanitation Officers Association, fears the trash pileups might foreshadow a possible worker shortage on Monday if vaccination rates among sanitation workers don’t increase by Friday.

Something about how Curtis talks about what he’ll do just makes me not believe/trust him. I think Sliwa would be better.
Yet, setting aside the short-term and long-term destructive effects of the poisons labeled COVID vaccines, it is is critical to note that THEY DO NOT WORK.
They do not prevent the people who get injected with them from contracting and transmitting COVID.

The Utopian commies wage war on the people. It is a weaponized political system. Tyranny. And why not just go after DeBlasio? The Ceaucescu remedy?
America is now detesting the left,will it result in “revlooshun?” as the left hopes? Will the lefty radical commie leaders be held accountable?
War is being waged on the people by government.How do we the People take them down?
