An Illinois judge ruled that the city of Chicago must rehire and pay back lost wages of unionized city employees who were fired or disciplined for violating
COVID-19 vaccination requirements.
Administrative law judge Anna Hamburg-Gal, writing on behalf of the Illinois Labor Relations Board, said that the city "failed and refused" to bargain in good faith with union leaders "over the effects of its decision to implement a COVID-19 vaccine mandate."
The decision applies to unionized city of
Chicago employees working as carpenters, bricklayers, plumbers, electricians, machinists, and other job categories.
