For that matter, what reason does the company have to negotiate quickly when the issue will “resolve” itself in a couple more weeks?
The union can only prevent the company from doing things that are specifically prohibited in the CBA. If it isn’t prohibited, the company can do what they want. Perhaps vaccination mandates should be addressed in the next contract, but as for now, I haven’t found a clause prohibiting what the company is doing.
