Unions facing dilemma as unvaccinated members return to workplace

TRADE unions face a looming dilemma over whether to support workers who refuse Covid jags and so clash with their employers and colleagues, a leading public health expert has warned.
Andrew Watterson, professor of occupational and environmental health at Stirling University, said unions had so far been urging vaccination take-up, and for making key workers a priority.
But as lockdown restrictions ease and working from home ceases to be the norm, the same unions now have to consider how to handle members who refuse vaccine.
In a paper published in today’s Scottish Left Review, Prof Watterson was also critical of how the vaccination programme had been rolled out in Scotland and the rest of the UK to key workers. ....

Employers urged to look after staff as workplaces open after Covid lockdowns

SCOTLAND’S employers are being urged to ensure their workers are being put first as they handle the challenges of returning to the workplace now that restrictions are being eased.
Trade unions have been monitoring how workers have been handling the return to their jobs and have found mixed results.
Dave Moxham, deputy general secretary of the STUC, warned: “With hospitality especially beginning to re-open there has been quite a lot of stress being reported to us.
“There is a quite a degree of uncertainty over levels of pay and hours.
“We’re like everyone else – when it’s safe we want re-opening, but we want it to take place gradually and most of all we want employers to treat staff, many of whom have been off for months and months and months, with a kind of sensitivity which we think they deserve. ....
