More than 800 city employees in Boston, Massachusetts were suspended without pay on Tuesday for reportedly not having complied with the city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate or weekly testing requirement.
A total of 812 employees were put on unpaid leave after they were determined to be non-compliant with the city’s mandate to take the COVID-19 vaccine, acting Boston Mayor Kim Janey said at a news conference Wednesday morning, reported local station WFXT. That figure would represent about 4 percent of the city’s entire workforce of about 18,000 employees.
