Bill That Would Require All California Workers to be Vaccinated Against Covid Put on Hold by Democrat Assemblywoman After Major Backlash

A small victory in California…for now.

Last month Democrat Assemblywoman Buffy Wicks (Oakland) proposed a bill that would require ALL workers in California to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19.

The proposed legislation would mandate all California businesses to require their employees and independent contractors to be vaccinated against Covid unless the employee obtains an exemption for religious reasons or a medical reason.

People who receive an exemption would be required to be regularly tested for Covid.

Public safety unions aggressively pushed back on the vaccine mandates and the proposal was ultimately defeated.

The author of the bill, Democrat Buffy Wicks on Tuesday said she’s putting the bill on hold after major backlash by public safety unions

Buffy Wicks said she’s disappointed in the opposition to her authoritarian bill.

“While I’m disappointed in the opposition to our bill by public safety unions, it’s my hope that they’ll ultimately come to the table to make sure all of their workers are vaccinated—& that every job sector in CA has the tools necessary to keep their workers safe from COVID,’ the California Democrat said.

California Republican assemblyman Kevin Kiley celebrated the win.
