USU @ Liverpool: Answering your questions

The Union has been approached by a number of our members with concerns around a number of issues including:

1. Implementation of the Splinter Award – How does it work? How long does it last? What does it mean?
    
2. Collection and Storage of Vaccination Data by Council – Why is Council asking for this information? Are you compelled to supply it? How will Council store it?
    
   • The current public health orders outline that authorised workers leaving a LGA of concern must be vaccinated and the employer may request that details of vaccination or exemption be supplied.Both parties agreed that both employers and authorised workers must follow the health orders.
   • Other employees of council will be asked, if they are comfortable, to supply details of their vaccination status in a way that would ensure privacy. As this is not mandated in the public health orders this would be voluntary and no pressure would be placed on employees.
      
3. Who to contact for Assistance.

To help answer your questions we are organising a number of online meetings. You will need to register for the meeting you choose to attend and to ensure that everyone can participate each meeting will be capped at 30 participants.  Whilst the meetings are set up for specific workgroups you can attend whichever meeting best suits you.

The meetings will be held at:
