The union that represents LAPD officers has filed a lawsuit against the city over its COVID-19 vaccination mandate for city employees
The union that represents rank-and-file Los Angeles police officers has filed a lawsuit against the city over how it rolled out its COVID-19 vaccination mandate for city employees, alleging the city negotiated the terms of the policy in bad faith and is inappropriately trying to pass on associated costs to officers.
The city policy requires unvaccinated employees to submit to twice-weekly COVID-19 testing and to pay for those tests by having $65 deducted from their paychecks per test unless they are granted a medical or religious exemption to the mandate, at which point they would be reimbursed. Salimpour said earlier this week that he had complied with “applicable ethics laws” and that “the allegations made by LAPPL are fortunately false.” Salimpour did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday.
