If they do not want to comply with the policy, it will be decided on a case-by-case basis whether they are kept on, he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That becomes very difficult as there will be many accusation of discrimination. Lawyers will be rubbing their hands together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have jobs, they are not employed. therefore there is no law he has to abide by, welcome to the gig economy Edited January 15, 2021 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the vacancies on the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 The interesting part will be how he words it. These are tradesmen who go into multiple houses per day.... potentially into vulnerable peoples houses so is it better the tradesman had had the jab?

But,,,, they and many other tradesmen, me included, have been doing this for many months, so even having the jab they/we/me will still have to wear sufficient ppe. Having the jab won't stop you spreading 'it'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think they will do that? If they do it will be very hard on those that can’t have the vaccine - transplant patients, pregnant women, children etc. And their families who all want to go on holiday together.

Wouldn't surprise me if they did, Ryan air were advertising Jab and fly. If the Airlines or Government say you can only go to Spain for instance if you've had the jab then the majority won't worry about who can't have it. Can't see it applying to kids. 28 minutes ago, JKD said: But, AFAIA,,,, you have to wait for the invite, nobody can just book in, pay and get the jab 👨🔬👩🔬🤷♂️ So those "falling over themselves" will have to wait like the rest of us 😉 Might just be all the old folk going away then🤷♂️ but will the jab be available privately,??

If you discriminate against people who have a medical condition that prevents them from having the jab then it puts you in very dangerous territory and it’s why the ‘face coverings’ law is proving impossible to enforce. I would worry about what Ryanair say! They said they would charge people to use the loo doesn’t forget. Personally I don’t think it’s down to companies to dictate things like this. Governments may but I think it will prove difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most things normally are. I'm sure it was said that nobody can pay for the jabs, but just wait for their invite. That was very early January and from a medical bid [who exactly I don't know] on the news. I'm sure a Google search will throw up an answer. Can you imagine the "mess" if you could book it and pay for it ?! It would be worldwide mayhem 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
