Vaccine Mandate Discipline Training (116)
Overview
This training will familiarize stewards with two tools created to help them navigate situations related to the COVID vaccine mandates, and the Hazard Payments that State Workers won in bargaining. The Guides will cover the context for the employer policy requiring either vaccination or an exception, how that is something we as a Union bargained the impacts of, what we were able to win, and what to do when a worker chooses not to meet the employers’ requirements on the policy. The second guide will review the criteria for the pandemic recognition pay, how much time a worker has to file a grievance once payments go out, and how stewards can help to win those grievances where there is evidence the worker should have received it.
