According to a message from its President, Mr. Oswald Robinson the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Teachers’ Union remains resolute that it does not support mandatory vaccination.
“Our members should be given the God given right to choose. We categorically reject the Government’s mandatory vaccination policy which threatens our livelihood and that of our dependent relatives.” The message read.
Robinson in his message stated that it is unethical for any Government to unilaterally change the working conditions of its employees under the disguise of a Public Health Emergency.
He called on members of the union stand firm on their grounds and not be swayed and to stand with the Teachers’ Union; saying that they are protected under the Trade Union Act.
In concluding the SVGTU’s President said that they will continue to be engaged with their legal counsel as they look at every legal avenue to ensure that their livelihood and rights are protected.
