Workers took plastic furniture out onto the roads and had their smoko there, blocking off traffic.LIVE UPDATES:Trams and buses are stopped from going through Collins Street in Melbourne's CBD.
Collins, King and Lonsdale Streets in the CBD as well as Sydney Road in Brunswick and High Street in Kew were blocked off.the protests were done without consultation and were "pretty appalling"."So they've taken all the tables and chairs out into the fresh air.Traffic is light in the CBD during lockdown, but cars, trams, buses trucks were stopped from passing through nevertheless.Melbourne tradies have sprawled out across city roads after their tea rooms were shut.
Yesterday it was announced that vaccines would be made mandatory for construction workers in Victoria. Construction workers state-wide must show proof to their employer that they have had at least one vaccine dose by 11.59pm on September 23.Construction workers will also be banned from crossing the metropolitan-regional border for works amid fears of the virus seeding into the regions.
Tea rooms will also need to close and food or drink cannot be consumed indoors at work. Worker shift bubbles also must be in place.
Not all construction workers but a lot of fake ones using their cause to protest and cause havoc. No wonder the health workers are upset.
Idiotic decisions from the Andrews government what do you yo expect. It’s only going get worst while this control freak Andrews is still in power, the soon his out the better this state stands.
CFMEU rides again ! tea rooms really isn’t that a 1st world problem? Get back to work you wankers and be thankful you can because there are a lot of people who can’t.
On ya boys! What a ridiculous rule, logically and logistically. And vax mandates are anti liberty. I hope those that have decided not to vax, stand their ground. You have a choice and no one should force you to just so you don't lose your livelihood. And I'm pro vax!
Total utter tools - look what you created DanielAndrewsMP
Pathetic. Men you need to man up. Why don’t you focus on getting vaccinated as opposed to complaining about eating lunch in a tea room.
🤬
This time of accepting that we live with a new virus. That is all.
Construction workers. Yeah, right It’s those QAnon crazies in high-vis cosplay.
Close them down. Back to 10% workforce. Soft princesses.
Poor babies
They probably just think it is a laugh...do many who don't have jobs right now or can't ho to work.
Better get your 1st jab boys... or you'll be sitting at home on a couch unpaid.
One of the few industries allowed to work and these princesses pull this stunt. So brave
Hope it isn't raining on Monday..no work till the roof in the crib hut stops leaking...lol.
They need to go to bunnings and buy a can of 'harden the fuck up'
SMOKOstandstill here with you 👍 😍
Your damned if you do and your damned if you dont. Have it all open. Let them catch Covid. Than they'll blame the government for not closing it
Where are the police?
Healthcare workers covered head to toe in PPE doing 18 hour shifts saving lives can’t gather in the tea room but they keep moving
Dozens? Try thousands. I’ve seen the photos and videos. Stop lying Also, FYI, it’s not about the tea rooms
VICPOL, how come you didn’t stop these peopleoh that right, they are Andrews mates, can’t do anything to them,eh, mr commissioner
Surely, when they have a break, the whole site does not go on break, imagine if this happened and all the nurses in a hospital had there break at the same time. At the moment these sites are where infections are eminating from
No doubt they are from the ethnically White European community of Australians allowed tp protest wihout any condemnation from the White media and the government even during a lockdown. Isn't White Privilege good!
If they can’t appreciate how privileged they are to still have their industry operating while the rest of us forgo business and personal freedoms, then FFS VictorianCHO & DanielAndrewsMP shut them down. I get the power of the union’s but it’s getting ridiculous.

Did you say tea rooms
Flogs
Wow! They found their masks.
No wonder aliens don’t visit us very often, when they do they end up seeing stuff like this, protesting over where tradies can eat there choccy milk and Big Ben pie.
Piss poor reporting as usual
Brilliant. All pwer to you guys
