Mayor Gives Unlimited Sick Time for Post-9/11 Illnesses to EMS Staff
Mayor de Blasio finally committed last week to granting unlimited sick time to all city workers with a World Trade Center-related illness, regardless of their job title.
Confirmation came in the form of a mayoral tweet Oct. 23 which read, “Proud to announce we’ve found a solution to guarantee the brave City workers who served as heroes on 9/11 and during its aftermath will get the unlimited sick time they deserve.”
