Limerick TD takes jab at Dairygold over vaccine memo
Reporter: );
DAIRYGOLD has revised its vaccine policy after concerns were raised by Minister Niall Collins.
The TD received a number of calls from angry Co-Op Superstores staff in Limerick regarding a memo circulated internally.
The document titled “Dairygold Co-Coperative Society – Covid-19 Vaccination” sets out the position of the society in relation to vaccinations against Covid-19.
It goes on to say, “The company believes that receiving one of the recommended public health vaccines is the best possible way in which employees can carry out their duty to protect others”.
The part that got staff’ backs up is: “Employees should attempt to secure a vaccine appointment outside of their normal working hours, or as close to the start or the end of the working day as possible.”
