Unvaccinated staff, even those who have a medical exemption, may have to take leave when the vaccine order comes into effect next Sunday

From September 20, workers from the local government areas of concern, which include Chullora and nearby council areas, will not be allowed to leave their council area for work unless they have had at least one dose of a vaccine or a medical exemption.

“Calls for mandatory vaccination should only come with public health orders and print workers are not subject to public health orders,” Lorraine Cassin, the union’s print and packaging secretary, said.She argued that co-operating with unions on steps such as safety plans and paid vaccine leave were the best way to get workers vaccinated. News Corp has already made a deal for a contractor to offer vaccine appointments to its staff.

News Corp’s Australasia chairman Michael Miller told a podcast that mandating vaccines was a live discussion within the company.Mr Gray’s superior, executive chairman Michael Miller, told a podcast from industry consultants Crawford Media this week that mandates were a live issue at the company. “We have recently asked our people how they would feel about mandating vaccination to help inform any decision we take,” the spokeswoman said.
