For when your boss tells you “It’s mandatory”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Care home staff… [ That means ANYBODY and EVERYBODY ]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is what you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You just say no<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boss, “you must get the injection to protect the residents.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n You, “no<\/strong>, my responsibility is to protect myself first, not the residents.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boss, “but you have to, to protect the residents, it’s safe enough” \u2013 (no it isn\u2019t<\/em>)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n You, “no<\/strong>, it is a Medical treatment, an experimental one at that<\/em>, which comes with a risk of anything from sickness to disablement and death, with no long-term safety data as this is the trials. I am not taking the risk with my life to protect a resident.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boss, “it’s policy now.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n You, “your policy breaks human rights laws, employment laws, disability discrimination laws, the equality act, and a lot more. Health and safety is above policy, you are not considering my safety in this”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boss, “but the Government have mandated it”<\/p>\n\n\n\n You, “mandatory is not law, it is a statutory instrument which operates on the basis of consent, the \u2018mandate\u2019 breaks the law and I do not consent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Should anything happen to me, the Government holds no liability, but you do, you need to check that your insurance covers my claim against you if I am injured or die as a result of you forcing an experimental medical treatment onto me.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boss, “or you’ll have to leave the position.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n You, “I won’t quit I know the law and I know my rights, you’ll have to fire me and then I’ll take legal action against you for unfair dismissal and a handful of other offences you’ve already just committed by trying to coerce and threaten me with the loss of my job”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boss,…… (Quite probably stumped at this point so not saying a lot).<\/p>\n\n\n\n You, “and I am putting you on notice now<\/strong> that if you press this issue again, harass me about it, discriminate against me for it, cause me alarm and distress as you’re already doing, I will take legal action against you.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boss,… (Your guess is as good as mine as to what will be said here but your final words should be)<\/p>\n\n\n\n You, “so we are clear on my stance about this then, yes?
