In reply to the discussion: A Federal Judge Blocks A Vaccine Mandate For NYC Teachers [View all]Scrivener7
(51,220 posts)They are not the vast majority of teachers. But the union and all the teachers are being bashed in this thread because of it.
The position of the union is to attempt to provide the greatest safety for faculty and kids.
Their position is that, given the large numbers of people who have gotten the vaccine since the mandate was announced, pushing out the deadline a few more weeks will get even more people vaccinated, and will reduce the need to put the kids through even more chaos than they have been subjected to for the past two years.
Enforcing the mandate on Monday will cause classrooms and possibly entire schools to shut down, which will put the kids and the faculties in danger due to overcrowding.
I totally support the union's position.
And again, do you have a better idea?
