abc.net.au/news/qld-covid-unvaxxed-teachers-pay-docked-unvaccinated-mandate/101366140Queensland's Education Department is docking the pay of 900 school staff who did not get the COVID vaccine, saying that ignoring the mandate put others at risk.

The letter stated the action was "appropriate" for the severity of the matter and hoped staff would follow future directions. "The disciplinary action reflects the seriousness of the matter, but as you remain an employee of the department, affords you the opportunity to continue to perform your duties, and display modified behaviour, by complying with directions in future.

Bloody outrageous!!

The wheels fell off this BS the day the national vaccinated economy was opened up and the 'vaccinated' immediately started infecting each other with CV. Just as anyone who was watching what was happening overseas knew it would. Stop this nonsense before you lose more teachers

Queensland teachers association are not following the science.

This is the next level attempt to weed out teachers with principles capable of independent thought. The Dept of Ed only want rule followers or those desperate to stay in the job to indoctrinate the next generation.

Another way to lose teachers.

And here come the legions of expensive ‘no win, no fee’ class action lawyers, marching into view, with the dazzling sun glinting off their swords.

Good

Obviously the leaders & journalist that ensure this kind of compliance have never watched gattaca or china political system abcnews qldpol auspol

It's never been about health - only power and control.

Wait until the mark of the beast comes along. This nation will be one of the first to force everyone to take the mark. Pray to God the rapture happens before we all start being forced to take it.

So, this should be an example to their students, always comply With your employer...never question and be ready to accept any Direction that you are given...you have no ' rights' and your employer Has control over your body and your mind.....

Are the parents getting fines for not getting their kids vaccinated? I'm a teacher, quadruple vaxxed, immunosuppressed. Not one child in my school wears a mask. Many not vaccinated. But who gives a fuck about us, right?

Total lack of logic in this ruling. Just pure spite of the worst type

Can never be informed consent so de facto is coercive & thus the authorities are contravening International treaties & agreements put in place to prevent the shocking medical experiments of WWII ever happening again. No less serious as it is known injury & death are side effects

gracextwo Do you think a right is truly a right if there are consequences for exercising it? How can you justify docking teacher pay in the midst of a national teacher shortage? This decision is dehumanising and humiliating for those 900 staff members.

Woeful behaviour by education department from start to finish. 'You will inject this substance or be sacked/stood down/have your pay docked'. Not the only employer to take this approach, but doesn't make it any better.

Surely its your body and its your choice. Lol

Lucky to not be sacked

Hope the union strike and sue.

Does not make any sense.

As a fully vaxed person, i think this is overboard. They didnt get paid whilst they chose to follow the advice of foot doctors and the Qanon numpties. Time to draw a line in the sand for now.

They’ll use any excuse to pay teachers less

If a new parent chooses to not work for an additonal 12months after mat leave because its a directive to not bring your child to work are they punished when they choose to return?

How does this cure convid ? Seems legit . Grubs !

Good.

Another attack on an Individuals Freedom of Choice.

Absolutely disgraceful.

The teachers union has said nothing on their social media surely this is the time to show their worth to teachers who are members ?

What a disgrace.

Disgusting... freedom of choice !!!?

If complying was so important for safety of staff and students, why weren't these teachers sacked and not allowed back in? This smells of retribution.

An absolute disgrace

Bet they can't find a single person that 'was put at risk' and ended up getting covid by a teacher not vaccinated....

Few issues with the Queensland Teachers Union (QTU)

SCUM! punish dissenting voices! How social credit system of you SCUM!!

How can anyone think this is remotely normal or ok, when the vaccine hasn't even been for the strain we've been dealing with this whole year (omicron was around Nov/Dec 2021) and it doesn't stop infection or transmission. Not only that, kids aren't even required to be vaxxed

'School staff were given ample opportunity to follow the lawful direction or provide evidence as to why they should be exempt,' a department spokesperson said. , how many were given exemptions? ... based on experience, probably none ...

This is going to end up costing them a hell of a lot more.

So it's not about health then? It was failure to comply with the power grab at play. Government have encouraged parents to get there children these shots. Now rightfully they should be questioning why.

Failing to comply with what turned out to be a completely pointless directive No medical or common sense justification, spiteful. Take stress leave citing this letter as reason for distress, take the rest of the year off, protected under workers comp leg, pay can not be docked

I can see a massive class action happening.

Good enough to be unvaxxed and be in a classroom with children, but not good enough to be paid equally, but its for your health

For something known not to stop transmission. What an absolute disgrace,more we jabbed the worse it got, jabbed now seem more effected. USA CDC new guidelines says there is NO difference bet jabbed/unjabbed. They should be given an apology & be compensated. Nasty&vindictive

So why return to work. If the teachers were happy to be stood down last November for failure to get vaccinated. Then they would stay out of work. I personal think this is a slap in the face. They were told they could return to work and now told they be docked pay.

Has the QLD Nwo Big Pharma government ever heard of the Nuremberg code , in regards to experimental vaxxines? This is outrageous.

Crying for shortage of teachers , and your solution is to penalise the fews that decided to stick around. WOW 😯.

there IS something a bit super Patriarchal, a bit Rwordy, about the jab jab 🤷‍♂️

Resign and teach in another state. Don’t work for a controlling and coercive government.

2.5 years and they still haven't learnt a bloody thing.. This has nothing to do with health.

Fair enough. That's pretty light compared to the usual recourse for not following WHS rules.

Flat out discrimination

Plenty of vaccines around and choice

Unlawful

Good

‘A long time coming’: Unvaxxed Qld teachers to have pay dockedEducation Queensland is finalising disciplinary action against about 900 of 54,000 school staff. Spiteful. Disgusting. Shameful. Probably criminal. The unvaccinated were vindicated. They embarrassed the government. This is the government lashing out at them because god forbid they could apologise or admit their mistakes. Well I hope they quit and find a better well paid job . Who would want to work for this government. The stupid vaccine didn’t really make any difference anyway . Where is the almighty Teachers unions? Crickets !!!
