Three big labour organisations have cautioned employers against taking a hard line with employees who refuse to take the Covid-19 jab.

This after an employee at Goldrush Group who was fired after she failed to comply with the company's mandatory vaccination policy lost her bid to have the decision overturned by the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration .

According to the federations, threatening workers with dismissal would not achieve anything but only make matters worse in what is a muddied divide between those who have taken the shot and those who refuse. “This has the unnecessary effect of raising workplace tensions and thus undermining labour market stability.”
