[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's clear that AFT wants to negotiate on whether vaccines should be mandated.  But beyond that they don't have any statements whether they are for or against a mandate.  They certainly don't have a statement that says "we are for a mandate" or "we are against a mandate".

So they are neither for nor against a mandate.

and that does not accord with any of the statements and reporting on the issue.[/quote]

Of course it does.  Did you mistype?  [/quote]

the politico article literally says they are against it; as does the AFT statement reference to protecting hypothetical anti-vax nurses.  to believe AFT is neutral on this or in favor but we just don’t know! is REALLY a stretch. [/quote]

I don't know why you are being so argumentative about this. The Politico article was reporting on the ATF statement. The same statement that I have posted twice in this thread. Why are you relying on Politico than the actual source? The answer, of course, is that you are more interested in spin than facts.

You do not believe that the AFT is neutral, so let me ask you this:

1) if a local union negotiates a deal with its management that includes mandatory vaccinations, do you think the AFT will oppose it or support it?
2) if a local union negotiates a deal with its management that does not include mandatory vaccinations, do you think the AFT will oppose it or support it?

I think the AFT will support both cases, but that is a neutral position that you do not believe AFT has. So, how do you believe the AFT would respond in each case?
