Alliance Airlines employees face “disciplinary action” for refusing vaccinations
A report in The Australian newspaper on Sunday, May 30, first flagged the new policy. That report said Alliance Airlines employees would all need a vaccination or face “disciplinary action.”
According to Alliance Airlines, they have a duty of care to provide a safe workplace for employees and passengers. The new rule extends to contractors and their employees contracted to work for Alliance Airlines. In addition to operating on behalf of commercial airlines, Alliance Airlines does extensive fly-in-fly-out and charter work.
