The enforcement of a mandate requiring Los Angeles Fire Department employees to get vaccinated cannot be delayed, a judge ruled Friday.
A Superior Court judge has denied a request by the Los Angeles Fire Department firefighters union seeking a preliminary injunction to delay enforcement of the city’s vaccine mandate.
“The Court recognized the emergency we’re in, and the harm that enjoining implementation of the vaccine mandate could have caused,” Feuer said. “Beyond this case, the presence of the new, highly contagious variant here in L.A. underscores the importance of vaccinating our first responders — indeed, of vaccinating everyone.”
“The court finds [United Firefighters of Los Angeles City Local 112] has not made the significant showing of irreparable harm necessary to enjoin a public entity in the performance of its duties,” Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mary H. Strobel wrote Friday in her ruling.Later Strobel wrote, “Evidence also supports that the COVID-19 pandemic has taken a significant toll on the city’s firefighters and even resulted in the death of two of its members.
