KEARNY MESA (KUSI) — The San Diego Police Officers Association has sought an injunction filed against the city of San Diego regarding the city’s vaccination mandate for first responders.

One of the main questions is whether or not officers will be allowed to record their waiver interviews.

Currently, they are hoping their injunction filed against the city will allow officers to tape their interviews.

KUSI’s Teresa Sardina was live from Kearny Mesa at the San Diego Police Officers Association with more details.

Statement from Attorney Michael Curran of Curran & Curran Law:

If they fire hundreds of officers, firefighters and lifeguards, the safety of the city is in danger.

CCLAW today filed a lawsuit with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing on behalf of more than 500 police officers, firefighters, lifeguards and other city employees in similar circumstances asking that the city of San Diego make the under investigation for discrimination and violations of the Fair Employment and Housing Act “FEHA” on requests for religious and medical exemption.

SD City’s approach to religious/medical vaccine exemption violates the law, the Fair Employment and Housing Act, or FEHA.
This violation occurs when employers discriminate against employees who claim a religious and medical exemption and attempt to circumvent requests for religious and medical exemptions and invade an employee’s private religious and medical information.
