Dessau –
A nursing service in Dessau dismissed seven employees because they did not want to be vaccinated against Corona. The MDR reported on Monday afternoon, citing one of the dismissed employees, whose name is not mentioned. She and her colleagues had been given a three-day ultimatum. With the lapse of the same, they would have received their notice directly, the person concerned reported to the broadcaster.
They are not anti-vaccination agents, the employee is quoted as saying. Rather, she wants to be vaccinated, but decide for herself when the time comes.
In terms of labor law, such an approach could be tricky
While the name of the nursing service concerned is not mentioned in the MDR report, the managing director has his say. As of March 1, he no longer wants patients to be cared for by unvaccinated staff. The rest of his employees have now been vaccinated.
In terms of labor law, such an approach could be tricky. So far there is no compulsory vaccination – not even for nurses. However, refusal to vaccinate could be problematic. A personal termination due to lack of personal suitability seems conceivable, said the Halle lawyer Johannes Menke. (mz)
