RE: Covid-19 Vaccination
Dear Mr Timmins,
I refer to our previous correspondence of the 12th January 2021 calling on the relevant state agencies to provide priority treatment for our members in the roll out of the Covid-19 vaccination programme and despite formal confirmation of same I presume Tesco Ireland are supportive of this call?
As we see a widening of the vaccination programme I would be obliged if you could confirm whether any provision is being made for the following.
- Paid time off in order to facilitate our members’ attendance at vaccination appointments.
- Paid time off in circumstances where our members experience a short term excessive negative reaction to the vaccine that prohibits their attendance at work.
Yours sincerely
For Mandate Trade Union
