Department of Public Service and Administration in talks with trade unions should voluntary vaccination fail to reach acceptable levels

Last month, Cosatu warned that mandatory vaccination will not work and may distract on the work needed to urge every person to be vaccinated while one of its biggest affiliates, the SA Democratic Teachers Union , supports making Covid-19 vaccines mandatory.

The direction on the measures states that if an employer decides that vaccination is mandatory it must undertake a risk assessment to identify employees who by virtue of the risk of transmission through their work or their risk for severe Covid-19 disease or death due to their age or comorbidities that must be vaccinated.

Should an employee refuse to be vaccinated the employer is required, if necessary, to take reasonable steps to accommodate the worker in a position that does not require the employee to be vaccinated.

Let it be and see what will happen

An intimidation tactic, the fear of losing a job will lead to people making uninformed decisions about their health.

Isn't there an intelligence vaccine to add to this one? Together with honesty?

They must make it mandatory for all EFF members.

I can see Cosatu divorcing itself from the tripartite alliance soon.
