Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti speaks a news conference in Los Angeles on Sept. 29, 2021. (John Fredricks/The Epoch Times) Almost 80 Los Angeles city employees have been put on leave without pay after refusing to adhere to the city’s mandate to receive a COVID-19 vaccine by December, according to LA Mayor Eric Garcetti .
As of Nov. 17, 77 city employees have been put on leave after declining to sign notices that instruct employees to get vaccinated by Dec. 18, Garcetti said in a briefing, with 700 more city employees at risk for joining them on unpaid leave.
