On Wednesday, November 15th, John Knox LAFD Firefighter and member of Firefighters4Freedom faces his second day of hearings for not receiving their mandated COVID vaccine. John has served 23 years with the Los Angeles Fire Department. He has been put off duty without pay for 714 days!
The board continually states this is not a hearing about the constitutionality of the bill but about whether or not he has fulfilled this condition of employment. We need to stand up to the Fire Department’s Board and show them that this cannot continue. This condition of employment is illegal, and to force compliance makes them culpable. The only way to resolve the issue is to drop the mandate and allow California’s best firefighters to continue to do their job and protect the people of LA City. It is not their duty to enforce the conditions of employment when they go against a firefighter’s Bill of Rights. Instead, they must stand up for the rights of the firefighters to whom they are responsible.
Here's how you can help.
Call at least one, if not all of the numbers provided and tell them to keep John Knox as an LAFD firefighter and rescind the illegal COVID vaccine mandate, protect LA City and stand up for LA’s firefighters.
