CHICAGO (CBS) — The vaccine mandate showdown continues between City Hall and Chicago’s police union. CBS 2’s Jackie Kostek reports the matter was discussed in two court hearings Wednesday. With court filing after court filing from the police union, now a lawyer for the city wants a judge to order all union representatives, not just the president, to stop telling officers to not enter their vaccine info on the portal. A lawyer for the city is asking the judge to both extend and broaden the temporary restraining order against Fraternal Order of Police Union President John Catanzara, essentially saying that while he has complied, other union officials are now encouraging officers to “hold the line” on his behalf. “Alright everybody, welcome to day three of the Hunger Games.” A police union official took to Facebook twice Wednesday to blast the city’s vaccine mandate, comparing it to the dystopian trilogy.
