Dear Councilmember,
New York City passed a mandate that requires all workers who work in the 5 boroughs to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. The mandate states that workers cannot report to work if they are not fully vaccinated. This is creating a hardship to me and my family and so many of my Union Brothers and Sisters in CWA. I expect you as my Councilmember to protect my right to determine what I decide to put in my body and I should not lose the ability to provide for my family because I exercise that right. I am asking you to STOP this mandate immediately.
Sincerely,
(Sign Your Name)

Dear Councilmember,
I am against the COVID-19 vaccine mandate that requires workers be fully vaccinated to be able to report to work. This is creating a hardship on my family and so many of my Union Brothers and Sisters in CWA. I expect you as my Councilmember to protect my right to determine what I decide to put in my body and exercising that right should not cost us our jobs. I am asking you to stop this mandate immediately.
Sincerely,
