Warnings thousands of Telstra workers will HAVE to get a Covid vaccine jab or face the sack
Daily MailOne of Australia's largest companies is set to impose mandatory Covid vaccinations for thousands of workers in a bid to be on the 'right side of history'. Telecommunications giant Telstra have proposed about 8,300 of their staff, who regularly come into contact with customers and colleagues, must get their first jab by October 15 and their second by November 15 - or face the sack.

Telstra joins companies such as Qantas, Woolworths and canned food producer SPC in making Covid vaccinations a condition of employment.
