Tomorrow's Guest: Advocate Betsy Combier. Send Me Your Questions for Her!
The longtime advocate for NYC workers will join me to talk about administrative remedies, problem codes, and a looming May 10 deadline for those affected by mandates to file notices of claim.
I’m pleased to say that tomorrow I’ll be talking with Betsy Combier, an advocate for teachers and other NYC municipal employees who has many years of experience navigating New York’s administrative and legal landscape, including 3020-a arbitration.
I’m giving you a little advance notice so that you can send me your questions for her. (Please get them to me by 11:00 a.m. tomorrow.) You can leave your questions in the comments here or email them to me at NYMpodcast@protonmail.com.
We’ll be talking about the upcoming May 10 deadline for City workers to file a notice of claim that will allow them to pursue legal action related to vaccine mandates. We’ll also talk about administrative remedies that some workers who lost their jobs under the mandate are pursuing to get them back.
And we’ll delve into the murky world of problem codes, which Combier recently shed light on in court documents for the New Yorkers For Religious Liberty, Inc. v. The City of New York lawsuit.

All I can do is hope right now.
