New York City said it will temporarily outlaw days off for sanitation workers ahead of anticipated employee shortages stemming from a vaccine mandate that goes into effect next week.
The sanitation department also will require Sunday shifts as needed and move to a 12-hour schedule for workers to “create additional capacity,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a briefing Thursday.
