Lightfoot took police union, Fraternal Order of Police, to court over its local chapter\u2019s refusal to comply with a vaccine mandate.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, the Democrat mayor announced she filed a complaint against the union, accusing them of \u201cengaging in, supporting and encouraging work stoppage or strike.\u201d The organization filed a dueling lawsuit against the city hours later, seeking arbitration over the vaccine status requirement.<\/p>\n<p>Lightfoot said the union\u2019s president, John Catanzara, needed to stop urging its more than 8,000 members to ignore Friday night\u2019s vaccine status deadline, in which all city workers must be fully vaccinated or face termination unless approved for religious or medical exemption. She also asked the court to prohibit the union and its officers from \u201cengaging in any concerted refusal to submit vaccination status information.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A Verified Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief has been filed by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FOP7Chicago?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@FOP7Chicago<\/a> in the Chancery Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County.<\/p>\n<p>Please, click this link below to view the complete 33 page document \u2b07\ufe0f:<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/67yd72Ql54\">https:\/\/t.co\/67yd72Ql54<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qfByd3uE5F\">pic.twitter.com\/qfByd3uE5F<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Fraternal Order of Police \u2013 Chicago Lodge #7 (@FOP7Chicago) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FOP7Chicago\/status\/1449063359232581636?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 15, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Catanzara argued the city is the one threatening to fire its officers for not complying with an \u201cimproper directive\u201d and noted that from the beginning, the city said the order was subject to mandatory bargaining. The union president previously warned the force could be at 50 percent or less for the weekend if officers are terminated.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Lightfoot said officers who refuse the mandate would be placed on unpaid leave starting next week.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/biden-pushes-child-care-program-social-spending-agenda-in-conn\/\">Biden Pushes Child Care Program, Social Spending Agenda In Conn.<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot speaks during the groundbreaking ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center at Jackson Park on September 28, 2021 in Chicago, Illinois.
