Going to be an interesting month ahead for a few at work
What's your thoughts on it?
I got the 1st jab last month as I knew it was coming.
Money talks whether I agree with it or not though I probably would have done it anyway.
There is one lady who is adamant she isn’t getting the jab and she’s an important employee so we’ll see how that plays out.
Very interested to hear how that plays out.
I'm not sure employers can enforce this to be honest. I mean do they ask if you have your flu jab?
Interesting times.
The federal government is not mandating anything, saying its voluntary, im of the understanding when state directions are inconsistent with Federal the federal over rides it.
Part of Federal law requires you to give valid consent, without coercion. It seems what they are doing is illegal and they are being allowed to do it. The thing that bothers me though is why it hasnt been defeated in court yet.
What is the employers reason for wanting to get staff vaccinated? Is it for safety? then why cant the rapid antigen test be done before commencing work seen as though you can still catch it and spread it even though youve been vaccinated, wouldnt that make more sense??? Thats what i will be saying to my boss. And heres some advice for people that dont want the jab, do not quit your job, make them put it in writing, the reasons why and make them sign it, i think youll be in for a tidy sum eventually. And make it clear to your boss that it will be him thats forking out, it wont be the State government.
Also Stan on your point about flu jab, i will be asking my boss for his and all of the staffs most recent HIV test, his most recent STD test (no im not sleeping with him haha) but cups are shared, toilets are shared. See how ridiculous it is, my medical status is nobodies business. Even if you are jabbed its still none of your employers business.[/quote]Are you sleeping with his wife though?
If that was the case then I would have the results of his STD and HIV tests as well lol.
Its just all strange and seems like it's the I thing for a company to do.
Maybe it is about being risk adverse? I'm not sure but you are correct that if they are going to sack you, get it in writing.
Read my reply. It is directed at you because you have double standards
