Returning to the working environment in confidence and safety

MU Assistant General Secretary Phil Kear explained our aims:

“The ongoing success of the UK's Covid vaccination programme finally provides some light at the end of the tunnel for members who've been unable to earn a living for over a year.

“However, members will understandably have many queries and concerns around both vaccination and testing, and an employer's ability to require these in order to permit work to resume.

“We hope this guidance deals with these concerns and allows members to return to the working environment in confidence and safety.”
