Surprising Ruling From Chicago Judge

Perhaps all hope is not lost.

Judge: Chicago Can’t Enforce Vaccine Mandate On Police Officers; Lightfoot Fumes | The Daily Wire

“‘Obey now, grieve later’ is not possible,” Mitchell emphasized. “If every union member complied and was vaccinated by December 31 … they would have no grievance to pursue and there would be no remedy an arbitrator could award. An award of back pay or reinstatement cannot undo a vaccine. Nothing can.”

The judge added that it was his “intention is to enter to narrowest possible order to preserve the unions’ right to a meaningful arbitration. The balance of the City’s vaccination policy remains fully in effect, including the reporting and testing obligations.”

Nothing can undo a vaccine. Well said.

TFW You’re a Democrat Mayor in Chicago, and the Unions Hate You

‘Almost Deafening’: Lori Lightfoot Booed On Stage At Fundraiser For First Union To Endorse Her In 2019 | The Daily Wire

At a fundraiser for Plumbers Union Local 130 on Sunday, Lightfoot was met with boos from the crowd after she was introduced on stage, video shows.

The mayor “spoke for less than a minute. And there was a resounding booing throughout the room,” one reported attendee told the paper. “Almost deafening … I was sitting at the table with a bunch of plumbers. They’re like, ‘We’ve never heard that before here.’ … Clearly, their membership is not with her. … They were calling her names. It was bad.”

The Democrats are no longer the friend of the common man. In truth, they never were, but they hid that better. They can’t hide it anymore.

When the Mayor Goes to War With the Police, It’s Time to Leave Town

Lori Lightfoot Claims Police Against Vax Mandate Are Basically Misinformed Insurrectionists (lifezette.com)

When asked the Fraternal Order Of Police union refusing to endorse Chicago’s vaccine mandate, Lightfoot said, “What we’ve seen from the Fraternal Order of Police, in particularly leadership, is a lot of misinformation, a lot of half-truths, and, frankly, flat out lies in order to induce an insurrection. And we’re not having that.”

“And so we want to make it very, very clear that the law is on our side. We feel very confident about it,” she added. “And what we said even after when I heard that he said, even after the lawsuit was filed, we notified them, is urging members of the department to ignore their chain of command.”Lightfoot went on to specifically attack Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara, who has been urging officers to defy the vaccine mandate.

Apparently, Democrats don’t like it when Civil Disobedience goes against them. Oh wait. They don’t. We saw that on January 6th.

Lightfoot needs to work this out with her police force. This public bickering just makes the entire city look ridiculous.
