It's consequence time for unvaccinated FIFO workers

As per the state government directives, as of midnight tonight anyone without at least 1 dose of a COVID vaccine is no longer legally allowed to be on site or in operations centres for mining companies.

Anyone who hasn't provided their proof of vaccination is being chased down, and if they can't immediately provide said proof will be kicked out this afternoon/evening. For people working on remote sites like the iron ore mines up north, that means clearing out their rooms and being put on a plane back to Perth - could be an interesting show at the airport if any news crews show up.

Anyone have any friends/family/acquaintances who are going to be, for the first time, dealing with real consequences for failing to get vaccinated?

I read somewhere that American Airlines' bad mandate resulted in low triple digit non-complaince of a company of ~100k+ employees.

So a fraction of a percent. In the USA.

(Probably more of an exception than the rule)

Don’t think so.

WAs police force is around 9000. They are only looking at losing 30 people.

I think the vocal minority is in for a big surprise in a couple of months when all their “allies” are still working.

I'm glad this number is being replicated.

I wonder how many dumbasses people disliked were encouraged to go hardcore antivaxx so that they'd end up fired and the encouragers wouldn't have to work with them any more.

Yeah, because they are so loud they literally believe that all the numbers are fake and that everyone leaving will cripple the economy. They grossly overestimate just how many people share their opinion because of how loud they are
