Daily Testing for Unvaccinated Staff

I am being told I need to test the staff who don't provide proof of vaccination daily.  This to me is ridiculous.  It's clearly a punitive measure since, due to unions, the district cannot fire anyone who is unvaccinated.  Regardless of whether I have the time for this (I don't. although I will admit they are trying to make it as easy as possible for me, and I do provide testing every day already) I hate the idea as it's basically weaponizing medical care (turning it into a punishment to make these employees lives uncomfortable). I voiced my frustrations but was met with platitudes. 

Has anyone else been asked to do this?  Thoughts?

So, in summary, management came up with a crazy (maybe illegal) system, I.e. test unvaccinated people daily, and then does nothing when these people blow off ALL testing.

Their management acumen is breathtaking...

The people refusing vaccination aren't very honorable.  They don't really think that rules should apply to them.  Go figure.
