Resources members support vaccination mandate

Together members employed in the Department of Resources have voted to support an employer mandate for COVID-19 vaccinations, with the majority of members who participated in the ballot supporting the mandate.

Together delegates have met to consider the outcomes of the member ballot and other feedback from Together members.

Together delegates and officials have provided some initial feedback to the Department and will seek to provide further feedback in the next week.

Together has also raised the issue of the Resources 1 William Street policy in which the dates for compliance were changed without consultation with workers and the union. It’s Together's view that members will be bound by the policy which was consulted on and will keep members up to date.

Union members are taking the lead in protecting the workplace. Ask your colleagues to join the union today.

As we know, vaccinations are only part of the workplace health and safety response to COVID-19. We raised ongoing consultation on workplace health and safety including working from home and rapid antigen tests.
