So unions are finally getting involved, as I predicted.

It still looks week to mass protest having no control over your life. But these are government employees, so weakness is to be expected.

There's only one union that is protesting the vaccine mandate. The police.

Five police were killed by covid for every one killed by gunfire since the start of the pandemic. The fact that they're protesting against taking the vaccine shows that they're not interested in blue lives after all.

If by protesting you mean lawsuits, wrong. There are others: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/union-pacific-unions-sue-each-other-over-covid-19-vaccine-mandate-2021-10-19/

But some have just lightly said to fuck off, to their credit, without suing because the mandates aren't as bad in other places as NY.

No, I mean of the unions currently striking.
