Union Calls for Paid ‘Vax Leave’ for All Australian Public Servants
The New South Wales (NSW) government should lead the nation by example and provide all public sector workers paid vaccination leave, the state’s peak union body said.
“One of the barriers workers are facing to get vaccinated against COVID-19 is finding the time to do it while they are working,” Unions NSW wrote in a post on Twitter. “That’s why we’re calling on the NSW government to lead by example and provide a 1/2 day of paid leave to all workers so they can get vaccinated.”
Unions NSW Secretary Mark Morey said the cost of missing work is one element that is preventing people, especially those who are insecurely employed, from getting their vaccination.
Confidence in government among voters drops
14 May 2021
For the first time since the pandemic commenced, the majority of Australians no longer have confidence in the government
There has been a very large decline in confidence in Federal Government among Australian voters , new analysis from The Australian National University (ANU) shows, with those declines linked closely to views on sexual assault and harassment in the workplace.
The longitudinal survey of 3,200 adults also found there has been a large drop in the number of Australians who say they would vote for the Coalition.
Collected in April 2021 but linked to responses from the same individuals all the way back to prior to the pandemic, the survey forms part of the COVID-19 monitoring program led by the ANU Centre for Social Research Methods (CSRM), and is the largest study of its kind in Australia.
