Following NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ announcement that he will exempt local pro athletes and performers from COVID-19 vaccine mandates, many workers who were fired for refusing to comply with the mandates are looking to sue. Long Island lawyer James Mermigis said he is having scores of employees reach out for representation. He also said of the mayor’s decision, “this is another slap in the face to regular New Yorkers who just want to earn a living.”
