As expected, the identical agreement forms from FDNY and NYPD require candidates for reinstatement to give up all legal actions and claims for back pay in order to go back to work.
Thank you for continuing to cover this in a professional, accurate and informative way and for the podcast series as well. All of This reporting is needed and valuable, thank you for stepping up.
If the city offered back pay they would be paying between 100 million and 200 million dollars.
This is something they obviously don't want to do.
If the lawsuits currently against them go south, they will be on the hook for lawyer's fees too.
This gets people back in at minimal cost. Not many people have the resources to wait for lawsuits to work their way through the system and the city knows that. Only a judge can review their actions at this point and decide to make those unjustly terminated whole.
Yikes--so unfair! I wonder if that’s legal.
