Six progressive aldermen echo call from union to move up vaccinations for Chicago Public Library staff

A group of alderman and union officials on Thursday demanded the city of Chicago move public library workers up the vaccine line, arguing they should be considered front line essential workers. The advocates in a news release said those city employees must be instated in the current phase 1b of vaccine rollout. They said that at least 51 Chicago Public Library workers have gotten COVID-19 and 33 branches have closed due to positive cases. Six locations closed multiple times, according to their statement.
