Labor group warns vs 'no jab, no pay', says workers want jabs but vax supplies lacking
MANILA - The Trade Union Congress of the Philippines on Monday said it has received reports of employees who were denied their salaries because they remain unvaccinated against COVID-19.
It is unclear just how many employers have adopted this illegal practice, Tanjusay said, but he noted the pandemic has created serious problems for many businesses and the 'no jab no pay’ scheme could spread. TUCP also said the push to allow greater mobility for vaccinated individuals by large business groups could be discriminatory as this would also penalize workers who want to get jabs but have no access to vaccines.
Tanjusay said most of the workers who aren’t vaccinated yet come from the provinces, or work in small businesses.
