[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here. I forgot one more thing. The Berkeley Union is rumored to also be pushing for "monitors" in the classrooms of HS and MS schools, where the students would go in and watch Zoom while the teacher is remote, but the monitors aren't vaccine eligible. So, essentially, the perception is that the teacher union lobbied and took vaccines from vulnerable populations (including low paid, in-person monitors) but are now walking back from the promise to go back. From what I have heard they are losing support rapidly from people who up until now have been on board with DL, because of this perception of taking vaccines from vulnerable populations. Grocery workers aren't eligible in CA for instance. Neither are most high risk people.

Again, I don't condone this, just giving background context about just how livid people are. [/quote]

This was brought up when teachers in Maryland were pushing to be prioritized ahead of other essential workers and elderly for vaccines. The concern was that they would vaccinate teachers and then they would not go back after all. A stalling tactic for return to buildings.

I can't imagine being a teacher and having to choose between a union which was acting unethical and my own ethics.  The union is fighting for a safer workplace but when it crosses ethical lines like taking vaccines from those who are more at risk, I would have a difficult time supporting that tactic.
