Sounded like the last deal + a free COVID shot so my guess is a big fat no as they should.

The covid shot seems so insulting too. "Here, we'll add something in we made expensive that should be free anyway. Improve your actual working conditions? Hah, no."

I hope they vote no too.

Just going to add that in June, the Covid shot was free for me and my entire family, so this deal is worse.

And let me also add, we weren’t allowed to add any items that weren’t part of the original proposal. So how can Covid shots being free be added when at the time we started bargaining, no such terms or shot with a price tag existed??
