The UFT is preparing to challenge the move, saying some teachers claim they were wrongly accused and that placing them on unpaid leave violated 'the basic notion of due process.'
NEW YORK CITY -- Dozens of New York City Department of Education employees are being placed on unpaid leave as of Monday for allegedly submitting fake COVID-19 vaccine cards.
The DOE said fewer than 100 employees submitted the fake vaccination cards, while a union official estimated it to be around 70. "I'm really disappointed to learn that there were fake vaccination cards," Mayor Eric Adams said."Not only is it illegal, it undermines our entire trust. My understanding it is being investigated, and we are going to see the outcome of the investigation."
The United Federation of Teachers is preparing to challenge the move, saying some teachers claim they were wrongly accused and that placing them on unpaid leave violated"the basic notion of due process." "It is wholly improper for the DOE to unilaterally remove UFT members from the payroll based on mere conjecture that vaccination documentation is fraudulent," a union official wrote in a letter to the city.
