SUNY, Unions Reach Agreement on Testing
July 2, 4:25 a.m. The State University of New York has reached agreements with four unions in the system United University Professions, New York State Public Employees Federation, New York State Correctional Officers and Police Benevolent Association, and the Police Benevolent Association of New York State to continue COVID-19 testing through the rest of 2021.
But the agreements differentiate between those who have been vaccinated and those who have not. Those who have not been vaccinated will be required to be tested weekly. Fully vaccinated employees who voluntarily provide confirmation of vaccination shall be tested much less frequently and on a sampling basis to monitor for breakthrough infections. Frequency of testing for fully vaccinated employees shall be determined at the campus-level, after consultation with local union representatives, the university said.

Not many have staked out a position, said Dr. Patrick Brennan, chief medical officer and senior vice president of the University of Pennsylvania Health System, which is part of Penn Medicine. It s not that it didn t matter. We would have liked to have them on board.
