Industrial Relations Minister Michaelia Cash has called a meeting of employer associations and unions on the vaccine rollout and workplaces, a contentious issue as some businesses push for mandatory jabs in an effort to keep their staff safe and doors open as cases rise.
Industrial Relations Minister Michaelia Cash will try to find common ground on workplace coronavirus vaccinations.But unions will use the meeting to push another topic: universal paid vaccination leave so workers, including casuals, don’t have to lose income or use up other time off to get vaccinated.
“Vaccination is free and voluntary, but we strongly recommend that everyone gets vaccinated as soon as they can,” Senator Cash said. “A key focus [of Wednesday’s discussion] will be on how businesses can comply with their work, health and safety obligations, including without mandating the vaccine.”

nickbonyhady BTW, Nick Calling Sally McManus ACTU “Boss” is quite disrespectful. Hers is an elected position, & she’s good at it, so call her what she is- a Leader. Employers can be Bosses. NFI what Cash is - she’s about as useful as tits on a bull.
nickbonyhady The BCA and Unions forced the Govt to the table is perhaps a better way of describing it.
