British business is at the forefront of the debate. While vaccination programs are accelerating in many countries, Britain is among the most advanced. One in three adults have received their first vaccine shot, and the UK government confirmed on Monday that it hopes to offer every adult a first dose of the vaccine by July 31.
Pimlico Plumbers, a service and maintenance company based in London, is considering a similar policy. The company said it wants to implement a "no jab, no job" rule for new hires, but a spokesperson told CNN Business that existing workers with a good reason for declining the vaccine will not be fired.
Companies may also be exposing themselves to allegations of discrimination against people who have not been vaccinated. That category may include young people who have not yet been offered a shot, or people who should not be vaccinated for medical reasons. UNISON, a public sector trade union, also opposes mandates. Senior national social care officer Gavin Edwards said the union is focused on persuading workers to get the vaccine by providing clear and concise information and arranging for them to speak to colleagues who've already had their injections.
Legal experts say that US employers can mandate getting the shot. Whether they should is a different matter. Some jobs already have vaccination requirements. For instance, some health care workers are required to get flu shots.
The ignorant slander and absolute lack of any informed speech on this thread is awful. The bigotry is so sad. Please educate yourselves on what GraceLife is doing, why they are doing it, and what actual harm has come from doing it. Then you can comment
They won’t even give it properly here: 2nd dose?
It's a human's right violation so. No! And if you choose to get the shot. You are protected. What's it matter if others aren't?
I agree with Samuels when he says mandating the vaccine should be done on a case-by-case assessment.
Does matter if I take the vaccine at all. Both Pfizer and Moderna are not effective against the virus variants. So even after vaccination my risk level remains the same. So I may as well wait for a newer version of the vaccine.
Yes. And for school and travel
So places can fire you if you choose not get a vaccine?
Companies are making decisions about vaccines being mandatory or not and you cover that instead of the problem of companies making such decisions.
If they insist. You point out that there is no requirement in your employment contract that states you need to submit yourself self to experimental drugs to retain employment. They push the issue. Sue the shit outta them. 😎👌🏼
Welcome to the age of litigation. These companies are going to be sued into oblivion.
