On Friday, Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) threatened workers who defied the vaccine mandate.<\/p>\n<p>Lightfoot went on to warn, \u201cthere will be consequences if people are not complying with what the policy is by October 15.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Friday became the last day to get a second COVID-19 shot for employees attempting to meet the deadline. However, the Fraternal Order of Police announced if a negative COVID-19 test was shown, no one would be out of a job after the deadline regardless of the mayor\u2019s threats.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">President John Catanzara was live this evening, addressing our <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FOP7Chicago?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@FOP7Chicago<\/a> membership about <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FOP?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FOP<\/a> negotiations with the City related to the mayor\u2019s vaccination mandate.<\/p>\n<p>Click the link below to hear directly from President Catanzara: <\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd17: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DtjrKV3WHT\">https:\/\/t.co\/DtjrKV3WHT<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ggXQECZBrb\">pic.twitter.com\/ggXQECZBrb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Fraternal Order of Police \u2013 Chicago Lodge #7 (@FOP7Chicago) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FOP7Chicago\/status\/1444090579953102850?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 2, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>When reporters asked Lightfoot on the union\u2019s statement, she said the deadline was mandatory to follow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, they have to be vaccinated,\u201d she mentioned. \u201cEvery employee in the city of Chicago has to be vaccinated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, the union has claimed victory by saying the testing option would last through the end of the year.
