ATTENTION ALL WORKERS - VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The WA Public Health Act (2016) contains a section which stops employers disciplining or terminating employment if an employee complies with the Public Health Order (PHO) direction of not attending a site unvaccinated.

The PHO says you must not attend site if you have not received your first jab by 1 December 2021. If you do not attempt to enter or remain on site, you are complying with the PHO. Section 202(3)(b)(ii & iii) of the Public Health Act prohibits disciplinary action or termination of employees who comply with the PHO direction.

DO NOT RESIGN!! Your job must be held for you, and you can resume work once the PHO ends. It must end eventually, so make sure you understand what this means and tell your workmates to HOLD THE LINE. This section of the Act will be protective and can be used in an Unfair Dismissal claim at the Fair Work Commission in the event of employment being terminated, but we are trying to avoid being terminated.

You can write to your employer stating that the section above confirms your compliance with not being on-site cannot lead to your termination. Ensure you write "Without Prejudice" at the top and centre of the letter.

Finally, anyone on sick/stress leave signed off by your GP due to the stress you’re experiencing from the current jab mandate situation, please look into your superannuation fund's policy for Salary Continuance Insurance (SCI). It’s usually automatically built into your Super, but most people don’t even know they have it. It will pay up to 75% of your monthly salary for up to 2 years while you’re deemed unfit for work due to sickness etc. Wait times of 30-90 days apply, depending on your policy.

LAY DOWN YOUR UNIFORMS

If any Senior or HSE Managers or Emergency Service Operators or j@b injured would like to speak on Wednesday at Parliament (WA), please make yourself known and Admin will get in touch.
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

The following information has been brought to the attention of the admin of this group.

Expressions of interest are being sought to join in on a judicial review that has been lodged on behalf of the WA Police in the Supreme Court. This is something that will be happening in the immediate future and is being opened up to other industries to jump on board. Details sent to us so far are as follows:

Dear all,

We know a lot of you have an appetite for local legal action here in WA, as most seems to be happening over east.

We are considering following what a group of WA Police have done, through their legal team, commenced an application for judicial review in the Supreme Court of Western Australia against the Chief Health Officer (CHO) and the State of Western Australia. The application seeks orders striking down the CHO’s directions that mandate that all WA Police must have a COVID-19 vaccine by 1 December 2021. SO IT BEGINS!

As for the β€œjoint action” we have sought clarification and it is as follows:
The argument against the CHO and subsequent directions are essentially the same however each industry (plaintiff) would be different in its own way. So if our members are interested, the following needs to happen (urgently).

- Finalise numbers and nominate ONE person to be the named β€œlead” plaintiff. This lead plaintiff would preferably have no assets (in the event it all turns bad).

- We need to raise 10k (minimum) into a nominated bank account. (Eg. $50 x 200 = $10k, but the more that contribute, the cheaper it will be for all.)

Basically, because the good β€˜ole cops paid a lot in the early stages, the initial leg work is now done, so our groups 10k gets us straight β€œinto the game”. Once in, the total bill for the challenge can then be split so it goes without saying that the more the merrier, although hopefully gofundme pays for all/most/some…

Note: The above is ONLY in relation to the judicial review process through the Supreme Court. Hotchkin Hanly can no doubt also assist you with industrial relations matters however that would be completely separate and bear its own separate costs….


This action is completely separate from actions started by AdvocateMe and Maatouk's Law Group, and the Broomhill actions.

The admins of this group are at capacity and are not the ones heading up this initiative. However, more details can be sought via the following zoom link if you are interested in learning more.

Feedback from our Position Statement campaign.

Even though it may not seem like big things are happening, every action, big and small, does make an impact. If we keep chipping away and providing information to others, we will eventually see a break-through.

Never give up!

WA CONSTRUCTION WORKERS - HOLD THE LINE

Yesterday, a Public Health Order mandating the jab for building and construction workers was signed into effect by the Chief Health Officer Dr Andrew Robertson, with the Order uploaded onto the WA Government website today. The wording of the direction is as follows:

"from 12.01 am on 1 January 2022, a person who is a building and construction worker must not enter, or remain at, a building and construction site if the building and construction worker has not been partially vaccinated against COVID-19."

You can view the PHO here: www.wa.gov.au/system/files/2021-12/Building_and_Construction_Industry_Worker_Restrictions_on_Access_Directions_No.2.pdf

We urge all construction workers to hold the line, and to stand in solidarity with others at tomorrow's event at Parliament House, starting at 10am.

#HoldTheLine
#UnitedWeStand
United Services invite everyone to a little gathering outside Dumas house after the formalities of Parliament House.

πŸ”ΉBring portable gazebo, deck chairs, esky with drinks (non-alcoholic), games (cricket, frisbee, football, soccer etc), bluetooth speakers for music, a portable BBQ and food if you wish.

πŸ”Ή Bring signs if you wish that are relevant to the mandate/not being able to work. E.g. "We want to and are willing to work today but we can't - thanks WA government".
What a sad day for our industry and this country.
We salute you all for chosing to do what is right in your heart, even if it's difficult for a little while.
You are never alone.
You are brave.
You are strong.
You saying no, will bring humanity back to a free new world.

And for everyone else, we'll continue to fight for you as well.

Do you want to see the Public Health Orders for the resource and construction sector challenged in the supreme court?

We have very limited time to jump on board with a legal challenge that has already been filed in the supreme court.

We have a solid case and a potential named plaintiff, but we need many people behind them to make it happen.

It will only take a relatively small contribution from a large pool of people.

Make sure you attend this zoom, without the support this case will not be going ahead.
