BHP Group Ltd. signaled that it remains committed to making
Covid-19 vaccines mandatory for workers at an Australian coal mine,
despite the country's industrial relations tribunal deciding that
the company's move to do so wasn't reasonable because of how it was
implemented.
The world's biggest miner by market value stood down with
pay--meaning they still got paid but weren't allowed to work--some
staff its Mt. Arthur mine in New South Wales after telling workers
in October that they would need to have at least one dose of an
approved Covid-19 vaccine by Nov. 10 and be fully vaccinated by
Jan. 31.
Australia's Fair Work Commission on Friday determined that BHP
hadn't consulted employees adequately in advance.
"We welcome and are progressing in a timely manner the offer by
the Fair Work Commission to work with us, and the other parties in
this matter, to fulfill whatever further consultation is required,"
BHP said in an emailed statement on Wednesday.
The tribunal last week said that a revised direction could be
made by Dec. 15 if a consultation with workers and BHP advances
quickly.
