Quote: jools "I've just read through this thread jeez - You don't half speak with some authority whilst knowing absolutely nothing.
Currently if a requirement of your job role requires you to be vaccinated to enter another country then your contract CAN stipulate that you must be vaccinated. (that's not just Covid!)
In this case clubs would be within their rights to mandate the vaccination as a stipulation of the contract agreement as otherwise they would be unable to fulfil that contract and play in France. It would be up to the club to decide whether they would make that stipulation or not. So no discrimination.
I myself have had a job working with blood products and a stipulation of my contract was I had to have certain vaccinations before I could take up that role. Perfectly legal.'"
Another poster who just gets on the high horse and vents because my opinion is different to their own. I didn't speak with any authority at all if you actually read it.
All I did was say there is little justification for mandating vaccines right now. That's an opinion, you can disagree with it. The 'protect others' element, which was the main reason for a lot of people taking the vaccine and supporting manadtory vaccines, has gone out of the window now to a large extent.
The other bits about clubs being careful is also perfectly valid. You may be an expert in employment law like all the people on this thread, fine. I don't mind being wrong on that. But as those SL contracts you talk about likely did not contain anything about covid or vaccination status, I suggested clubs need to be careful on this. The last thing Super League needs is the clubs exposing themselves to potential damages based on a moral standpoint over a vaccine. I didn't declare they couldn't do it or would lose in a potential court case, just suggested they be careful. If for example clubs mandate their players have to be vaccinated and sack three or four, then the laws on vaccines in France change because of the changing picture of covid before that club plays in France, it could get messy. Potentially. There are no legal requirements to be vaccinated in the UK, so it looks exposed to scrutiny if a club decides a players future based on it.
