An ex-Yankee Stadium worker who says she was fired for refusing to get a Covid-19 vaccination sued New York Mayor Eric Adams for exempting professional athletes and other performers from the city’s vaccine mandate for private employers.
Virginia Alleyne, who worked as a waitress at the stadium’s Legends Club for 17 years until she was terminated in September, filed a proposed class action in New York state court on Friday. She asked for a court order blocking the city’s implementation of the exemptions that would allow unvaccinated Yankees to take the field.
