[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]The posts that I have been removing contain inaccurate information. It appears that there is a poster or posters who are determined to bash the WTU at every opportunity -- or even when there aren't opportunities because often the posts are off-topic.

With regard to data collection regarding vaccination status, the WTU does not have the power to prevent collection. Because the effort to collect such data was launched without consultation, the WTU informed its members that they were not required to respond. However, any member wishing to respond was able to do so. The WTU's President has said that the union is negotiating the collection of vaccination status data with DCPS. Obviously, I don't know the issues being discussed, but I would guess the union has considerable concerns about what information will be released to the public and how it will be used.

In sum, you can criticize the WTU, you can praise the WTU, you can post factually accurate information about the WTU, but misinformation will be removed.

I honestly think you're blurring the line between "misinformation" and "information the WTU does not like to have framed in a critical manner."  WTU exercised the power it had to disrupt the data collection - I'm really unclear about what is factually inaccurate about that?  It seems like what is being deleted is commentary on WTU's choices, not misinformation about WTU's actions.  And for what it's worth, if WTU is correct that data collection is a subject for mandatory bargaining (which has not actually been established, I don't believe) then WTU WOULD have the power to prevent the data collection and forced DCPS to the table, and then (if it could) get it written into the contract.

This is a really complex and highly important area of public concern right now.  I get not wanting abusive or trolling or derailing information to be posted, but it honestly does seem like you're deleting criticism of WTU under the guise that it is "bashing."  [/quote]

And also yesterday, you deleted a whole raft of posts discussion the history of national union positions on mandatory vaccination (AFT and NEA).  Many posts linking to documented public positions. It's really unclear what the purpose of those deletions was.  Is it "union bashing" to note that NEA removed its agenda item on mandatory covid vaccination this month, and AFT has a history of opposing mandatory vaccination in other pandemics?  [/quote]
