11 Massachusetts State troopers and 1 sergeant were fired Friday after being non-compliant with the Covid-19 vaccine mandate issued by Gov. Charlie Baker in October.
Gov. Charlie Baker's vaccination mandate requiring state workers get the shot went into effect in October 2021.
Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Barker (R) said Monday that a "few hundred" state workers have been suspended for not complying with the state's vaccine mandate.
200 state troopers are seeking a religious or medical exemption for the COVID-19 vaccination.
The union says that troopers began receiving the denials on Friday, and expect more are on the way. It is asking the Baker administration to allow troopers who don't want to be vaccinated to get tested weekly and wear a mask.
