Employees of NYC’s Department of Education (DOE) from various races, cultures, and social classes filed as 10 plaintiffs against New York Mayor Bill de Blasio in federal court over his vaccination mandate.

The lawsuit is the third one filed against the vaccine mandates enforced by de Blasio earlier this month on NYC educators.
