ruled Newark's COVID-19 vaccine mandate for city workers could take effect
without negotiation.
Mayor Ras Baraka issued the order in August, requiring all city
employees to be vaccinated against the coronavirus or face discipline up to
termination.
The order gave employees 30 days to provide vaccination records after
Aug. 16, but it did not give an option to test for the virus in lieu of being
inoculated after that period.

Earlier this month, members
of the city's police and fire unions protested the mandate outside of city hall,
asking for the option to be tested regularly instead.
The court ruled the executive order could take effect without having to
negotiate its implementation with local police and fire unions that challenged
the requirement.
