The RTBU has launched a national campaign to better protect workers who are at significant risk of death or serious illness from COVID-19.
RTBU National Secretary Mark Diamond today said while progress on an effective vaccine was encouraging, the current outbreak in Greater Sydney and emergence of a new highly infectious variant demonstrated the pandemic was far from over.
“During the pandemic, many of us have embraced zoom meetings and invested in a home office. We’ve been able to stay safe, secure and out of harm’s way,” Mr Diamond said.
“But for many other workers in sectors like health, aged care, emergency services, retail and transport, however, working from home is not an option. For workers in those sectors who are also elderly or have pre-existing health conditions, going to work during an outbreak of COVID-19 could mean putting their life on the line.”
