[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I'm not "anti WTU," Jeff.  I'm pro-keeping-schools-open. Nothing you cited demonstrates that unions are in favor of mandatory vaccination.  Randi Weingarten is the AFT (American Federation of Teacher's Union) president -- she was obviously talking about teachers, in the overall context of public employee vaccination requirements.  And claiming that "mandatory vaccination should be subject to negotiation" while at the same time saying that mandatory vaccination will lead to a parade of horribles (nurses quitting) is obviously being against mandatory vaccination.  AFT opposes mandatory vaccination and that's what the statement you cited means. [/quote]

I am sorry but your opposition to the WTU has resulted in either you refusing to understand clear language or prevented you from doing so. Either way, the plain text is right before your eyes. The ATF believes that vaccinations "should be a mandatory subject of negotiation..". I'm not sure how more clearly they could say this. The ATF does believe that mandated vaccinations that are not negotiated could be problematic. As I said in the other thread, it is likely that union members are concerned about how medical data would be used and potentially made public. In addition, the union is likely concerned about the fate of those members who can't or won't be vaccinated. Those concerns are not with a mandate itself, but more implementation details. At any rate, with if more than 90 percent of teachers and staff are already vaccinated, a mandate loses much of its significance.
