    Chris, do you get the EMA newsletter? There was an employment dispute in there with a border Customs worker who refused to get vaccinated even though the law states they must be. Customs offered redeployment which was refused. They terminated their employment but the offer was left open that if they got vaccinated before the finishing date, they could have their original job back. Still refused. ERA backed Customs and their process. The workers union is now taking a high court appeal.

    You’ve got to be pretty sure if your going to force your workers to vaccinate of the risk. We’ve had a very high uptake but the next issue I guess is vaccinated staff not wanting to work with unvaccinated staff
