Seattle Fire Department In CHAOS As Staffing Crisis Continues, And They Refuse To Consider THIS...

According to an anonymous source within the department, L6 is one of the units that have had to cease operations due to staff shortages. Last week, The Post Millennial obtained documents indicating that firefighters terminated due to the city’s vaccine mandate, are not being rehired. At the same time, individuals who resigned, retired, or were separated from the department for medical or disability-related reasons but were not granted disability retirement, may ask for their names to be entered in a supplemental register, which will be evaluated alongside other open-graded eligible registers.

After introducing the mandate, department employees applied for and received exemptions to receive the vaccine based on their religious beliefs. However, they were still not granted accommodation for their request and were ultimately fired. Even though these accommodations, such as mask-wearing and regular testing, were made a standard operating procedure when the virus began to spread, terminated employees continued to be denied access to these provisions. In formal rejection notices, employees who requested reinstatement were told that their requests failed to meet PSCSC (City of Seattle Public Service Commission) rule 10.03 criteria. Their applications for reinstatement to the eligible register for firefighter were denied.

In September 2022, Seattle firefighters brought legal action against the city for lost wages, lost benefits, and pension rights following their termination. Before this suit, another lawsuit was filed seeking injunctive relief and a temporary restraining order against the city and Fire Chief Harold Scoggins to prevent further terminations caused by the policy violation. The initial lawsuit also posited that the city and Scoggins had decided not to accommodate religiously exempt employees, including all plaintiffs. Testimony given by Deputy Chief and Union President for Local 2898, Thomas Walsh, provided evidence that before vaccines became available during the pandemic, the Seattle Fire Department had tens of millions of contacts with the public, and transmission rates remained low.

In February, Seattle lifted its vaccine mandate for employees. Yet, firefighters and other first responders were still being terminated for non-compliance with the policies, even up until that date, despite the severe staffing shortage. A whistleblower has gone on record stating that the staffing crisis is so severe that someone is bound to get killed - and even if the next victim is a firefighter, they do not believe the city will take appropriate actions to remedy the issue.
