(50,934 posts)The teachers union is backing the mandate and supported the move to lock out unvaccinated teachers starting today.
Your other posts in this thread indicate that you know the union backs the vaccine mandate.
So why are you bashing the union?

(50,934 posts)because the union-supported vaccine deadline mandated that unvaccinated teachers not be allowed in schools as of today.
There are upwards of 80,000 New York teachers. A few hundred got locked out and made a stink.

And the press on this is disgusting. A few hundred fools out of 80,000 made a stink, and now all NY teachers are being shit upon.
That's the NY teachers who, as of today, are 100% vaccinated.

There is a simple way to protect yourself and your students. Get the vaccine. It is safe, available and effective.
How fucking stupid. Maybe you should not be teaching
