New York has more than 300,000 city employees. Firehouses remained open and sanitation workers made an extra pickup on Sunday to ensure trash wouldn\u2019t pile up, the mayor said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI want to thank everyone who got vaccinated,\u201d de Blasio stated. \u201cThank you for getting vaccinated. Thank you for doing the right thing. Thank you for moving us forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The development comes amid concerns from public safety union leaders that the mandate could lead to less law enforcement and firefighters on the streets of New York City. Last week, FDNY Firefighters Association President suggested the Big Apple\u2019s mandate could slow the response time of firefighters and potentially cost lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe department is scrambling to field at team. If they do follow through and send home 30 percent of New York City firefighters, it\u2019s going to be extremely difficult to staff every company.

You just can\u2019t survive.
