[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]You said vaccines are subject to mandatory bargaining. Source? [/quote]

The source was the WTU and ATF stating as such. You might want to reread the other thread if you are confused about "mandatory bargaining".

Oh Jeff. “Subject of mandatory bargaining” has a specific meaning in labor law - which you refuse to understand. You can’t just look it up in the dictionary.

1) WTU cannot on its own declare that something is a mandatory subject. that comes from the contract and statutes. 
2) If an item is a subject of mandatory bargaining, the word “mandatory” just means thay labor and management are obliged to negotiate in good faith over it. It does not mean that the side invoking mandatory bargaining is pro or con. [/quote]

Again, I basically agree with you and I really don't understand why you continue to be so argumentative about this. As I am sure you know, all contracts and statutes are subject to interpretation. Different parties can and do view such things differently. The WTU clearly believed that vaccine mandates were subject to mandatory bargaining. Perhaps you disagree, I don't know. Perhaps the Bowser Administration disagreed, again, I don't know. But, in other cases in which the Bowser Administration and the WTU disagreed about legal matters, they went to court (or arbitration). In this case, the Bowser Administration agreed to negotiate.

You repeatedly argued that the WTU would not negotiate in good faith -- despite arguing at the same time that the law required that the union do so. I argued that the WTU did plan to negotiate in good faith and, would not have demanded negotiations if it opposed a mandate. In the end, the Union negotiated in good faith and agreed to a mandate -- just as I had argued it would

Given that we are in basic agreement about "mandatory bargaining" and events developed consistent with my predictions, I have a difficult time understanding your insistence that I lack understanding and am wrong about this.
