[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]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]

This is actually pretty illustrative of the anti-WTU position. The topic of the thread is mandatory vaccinations. The WTU has no publicly-stated position on mandatory vaccinations. Yet, you not only want to attack them for being against mandatory vaccinations, but you want to post about a single case of another organization opposing mandatory vaccinations from more than a decade ago (and obviously having nothing to do with covid). Those posts are off-topic on multiple levels.

Jeff, WTU is a local of AFT. AFT is not "another organization" to WTU.  AFT is WTU's parent organization.  So AFT's policy on mandatory vaccination is totally germane. The fact that in 2009 the AFT "strongly opposed" (their published words) mandatory flu vaccination during the H1N1 pandemic seems like a fact, not "disinformation."  Likewise, NEA is a national teacher's union, and their position on mandatory vaccination also seems germane to the overall discussion.

WTU has no publicly stated position on mandatory vaccinations, so the most we can do is look at other sources and make educated inferences.  That's not "attacking." That's discussion.  [/quote]
