Let me explain again. A union’s assertion that a workplace action is a “subject for mandatory bargaining” does NOT mean they support that action. It means that they are demanding the opportunity to bargain over it if the employer intends to take the action. We have plenty of evidence including in the form of express statements from AFT and other unions that WTU most likely opposes mandatory vaccination. And of course they NEVER mention mandatory vaccination in their demands - just masking etc. The overwhelming inference here is that WTU opposes/would oppose mandatory vaccination. [/quote]

You are simply not telling the truth. The statement from the AFT could not be more clear in stating that it supports a mandate being subject to negotiations. That does not mean the organization opposes a mandate. You are welcome to state your opinion on the subject, but when you claim that you are providing facts instead of opinion you are wrong.

It is obvious that the WTU strongly supports vaccination. The anecdotal evidence we have seen posted by teachers in this forum is that teachers are being vaccinated at a very high rate. If or when DCPS proposes a mandate, the WTU is clearly open to negotiating it. Those are the facts.
