So I did look up both of those people, and it does seem like they resisted vaccine mandates. But mainly they said they support everyone getting vaccinated, but that there should be rigorous testing accommodations for those that can't get the vaccine.

Which makes sense - they wanted members to voluntarily get vaccinated, but didn't want to mandate it to their members unless they bargained for it.

I just double checked and 94% of the Boston firefighters union was vaccinated by January 2022, but they were still against it being mandated without bargaining for it.
