An Illinois judge paused a Dec. 31 deadline for Chicago’s police officers to be vaccinated against Covid-19, saying the union needed more time to negotiate with the city over the mandate.
Cook County Judge Raymond Mitchell said in his ruling on Monday that the lack of “meaningful arbitration” was an “injury” to the Fraternal Order of Police Chicago Lodge No. 7 and its members. The union had sued last month to block the mandate.
