Last week, Gov. Walz announced a policy in which all state employees must be vaccinated against COVID. This is a good idea, but this is something that probably should have been negotiated in the next labor contracts.
However, I don't think there will be more than half-assed pushback from us, though. Our membership was surveyed on their situation and opinion, and the results:
-75% have already been vaccinated and plan to present proof thereof
-9% tested routinely
-Only 9% won't comply and will deal with the consequences.
