Covid-19: Unvaccinated workers fired by Customs should be compensated - advocate Harry Lock © RNZ / Simon Rogers
The right for Customs workers to refuse medical treatment has been breached, an employment law advocate has said.
Nine staff, all in fixed-term employment at the maritime border, had their contracts ended early.
Customs deputy chief executive for people and capability Jacinda Funnell said the decision was taken to comply with public health regulations that came into force this month.
From 1 May, all workers in managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ) facilities and government agencies at the border had to be vaccinated.
Advocate Ashleigh Fechney, representing four of the Customs staff who have consequently lost their jobs, said it equated to an unfair dismissal.
