Hopefully they can move on and get down to hiring quality people for a serious job, not just filling quotas from an unemployment line.

This is bull. Back pay?

Up to 10 years of back pay which means being vested and having benefits without ever being on the job. It is a disgrace!

This makes me want to puke. It's no longer about who is better suited for the position, it's a numbers game. I work in NYC and I'm buying an extinguisher, a water can, a bailout bag, and a AV-3000 with an escape canister just in case a truck full of these know-nothing cry-babies shows up in front of my office building for a working fire.

More wasted taxpayer dollars. This is why they keep closing firehouses and reducing crew sizes. If we keep entertaining this garbage NYC is going to become Detroit.

It use to be if you where smart and strong enough you would pass and move to the next step. Now.. who has the best attorny when I'M not passing. Who gives a crap what color or sex you are, just pass the same test as everyone else and boom your a Fire Fighter. So many know all you have to do is pull out the raciest card and i will have a job. I remember many years ago a dept in Los Angeles was testing with 35ft ladders. Raising against the building and was being filmed. Well... a certen female recrut couldn't do it and sued. Happiness is!!!!!

A good liberal judge can decimate any job. Keep voting for them!

It was a judge who sided with the vulcans which allowed the lawsuit to move forward . Then deblasi was elected and he capitulated.
