[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]There would be nothing to negotiate if WTU actually wanted a mandate. Do you think if Bowser offered every teacher a $50,000 bonus, the WTU would say, "wait, wait, wait -- we need to negotiate this first." No, they'd say thank you very much and everyone would move on.

The fact that we have a teacher vaccine "mandate" with so many holes and exceptions and literally no information WHATSOEVER about how many people are vaccinated shows the mandate we have is almost meaningless, and that is thanks to resistance by WTU. [/quote]

There are always things to negotiate, if for no other reason than to ascertain the details and to make sure both sides are on the same page. In the case of the vaccine mandate details would include: the date by which vaccines would be required, what -- if any -- exemptions would be allowed, penalties for failing to abide by the mandate, how medical information related to the mandate would be handled and who would have access to it, etc.

And, yes, if Bowser offered every teacher a $50,000 bonus, the WTU would want to negotiate it. That doesn't mean -- despite your "negotiate means oppose" understanding of the word "negotiate" -- that the union would oppose it. But, it would want to make sure that all the ramifications were understood and agree upon.
