GMB@Leisure & Culture Dundee Members COVID update

Dear Member

You will all now be aware that the intention in Scotland is to remove most covid restrictions on the 21st March 2022.

It is understandable that this may cause anxiety among GMB members who have underlying health conditions, are immunosuppressed or care for someone who is vulnerable.

Your employer cannot ask you to work unsafely, and you will still have protections under health and safety whilst at work.

The important thing is to remain vigilant and report any issues to your local reps and management as your employer has a duty to mitigate the spread of the virus and to minimise any health and safety risk.

Please get in touch with your local reps in the first instance if you have any questions and we are always ready to welcome any GMB members who would be willing to get more involved.

We are particularly keen to hear from under-represented groups. Please do let us know if any of you are interested by emailing dundee@gmb.org.uk

Fraternally

Helen Meldrum
GMB Scotland Organiser
