Unvaccinated job applicants in Scotland are facing discrimination from employers only willing to hire those who’ve been double-jabbed. Although the Scottish Government has allowed unvaccinated staff to continue working at venues that require a vaccine passport, and has made it clear that an employee’s vaccination status must not be taken into consideration by employers, some private companies have decided to set their own rules. The Times has the story.
Human rights experts have warned that overlooking people who refuse jabs for posts may be illegal but a review of the Scottish labour market has uncovered at least seven adverts that say unvaccinated people need not apply.
Clinicians and care workers north of the border are not obliged to have been inoculated like their colleagues in England. Applicants for care home jobs in Scotland must provide proof of vaccination via MyJobsScotland, an official public sector recruitment portal run by Cosla, the council umbrella body.
The Times has found a construction recruitment agency demanding labourers provide proof of vaccination.
Last night Nicola Sturgeon shelved plans to ban unvaccinated people from visiting pubs, gyms and restaurants. She will revisit the proposal on Tuesday after consultation with businesses.
The First Minister has made clear that unvaccinated staff are free to continue working in nightclubs and sports stadiums, which are required to turn away patrons if they do not have a vaccine passport.
Alex Cole-Hamilton, the Scottish Liberal Democrat leader, said that the Times’ analysis provided further evidence that vaccine passports should be scrapped. “We warned Covid ID cards would creep into more and more parts of our lives. It is now happening. These vaccine passports give a false sense of security and people who hold them can be just as infectious.”
The Scottish Greens, who have ministers in Scotland’s SNP-Green power-sharing Government, said that it was “not right that an offer of employment is predicated on an individual’s vaccination status”.
In documents detailing the Scottish Government’s own assessment, vaccine passports must not be a condition of job interviews.
The equalities study warned that bigoted employers could use vaccine certificates to discriminate against ethnic minorities and pregnant women who are less likely to be vaccinated.
The Times analysis showed Search Consultancy Limited, a recruitment agency based in West Sussex, posted a job ad for labourers in Edinburgh, Lothians and Borders stressing that applicants “must be fully vaccinated from Covid”.

There were some rather good comments here a few minutes ago, just the sort that certain people might not want on a public platform. Or am I being cynical?
So they all just vanished?
Yup
I’d hope it was just a technical glitch rather than a sign of increasingly controlled opposition.
I saw a rather good post (in my opinion) about a week ago which was labelled ‘for moderation’ and then *poof!* it was gone.
So much for the ‘Free Speech Union’.
But then, the owners of websites are responsible in law for their content, and I guess the line has to be drawn somewhere.
Free Speech . . . so long as it’s our speech.
Mmm, my “hope” above wasn’t based on much beyond my cheery optimism.
The unvaccinated comments were routed through a scottish server?
Wow. They were my comments. And I wasn’t even flexing. I mean, if Toby wants controversial, I can go there. I cannot imagine what it was I said that was so deletable. Must be hitting a nerve somewhere. Team James all the way.
I’m 70% team James, 30% team Toby. I do think Toby needs to explain the significant worldwide use of vaccine passports and agressive coercion. Certainly hard to argue this is about a virus anymore.
Toby is great, I love London Calling, but he is stuck in the land of the normies. He is clinging to the world view he has built up over a very successful career of writing and thinking. It has served him well, but its now obsolete. I look forward to the day when his protective intellectual wall crumbles, and he joins us on the other side. Hopefully this comment doesn’t get deleted!
As long as that’s NOT James Whale!
Mine has certainly evaporated. It wasn’t especially controversial, and merely pointed out the hypocrisy of certain political parties in seeking power, going along with the majority party and then about-turning to criticise a draconian measure i.e. the one described.
Take it as a badge of honour if your stuff gets censored.
“The Scottish government is continuing to allow unvaccinated staff to work at venues that require visitors to have vaccine passports. . .”
Who exactly is making this up?
Davos, and/or Beijing. Non-rhetorically.
Why on earth should any Scot or Brit for that matter with even an average IQ believe what he /she /they or it are being told by Sturgeon’s and Bojo’s puppet grubbermints, NHS officialdom and/or the shill BBC and the blah…blah… blah MSM?
For over 20 months now, they have lied to us about everything relating to this Covid-1984 plandemic, including where the virus came from, how it was developed, who sponsored its development, how the vaccines happened to come onstage days after the disease exited China, how well the vaccines work, how safe the vaccines are, and whether there were any other cheap and effective first-line treatments for the disease.
Even Gates admits they’re the ‘wrong’ kind of vaccines FFS.

And yet the average bloke or chappette on the street is still being coerced into taking these kill shots or else they face financial ruin and permanent unemployment.
It past ironic folks…. It’s a war and the longer this tyranny prevails the darker the technocratic oppression gets.
“It’s a war and the longer this tyranny prevails the darker the technocratic oppression gets.”
But there they stand, wiping the handles of their shopping trolleys down, instead of pushing the Covid marshalls into the canal.
“Mustn’t grumble,” they say.
Their lives are dominated as to who will win on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ – all those “stunning routines”.
And then you’ve got the younger twits heading to the festivals and nightclubs, all clutching their LFT tests.
Time to wheel this one out again?

Thanks, that was great. I missed it first time around.
Excellent, and so true!
Normally we’d rely on the “independent” courts to protect us from rampant illegality.
But given their recent rulings that the State can do as it bally well likes because there’s a forever-war on[*], and that these private firms are only following the spirit of the diktats, I don’t have high hopes.
[*] This is the significance of the Chinese Virus Act 2020 still being on the books. Even if it’s actually the Public Health Act 1984 that’s being abused to issue most decrees, the emergency Act has ritual significance.
Specifying that applicants must be fully vaccinated against Covid is a pretty useless requirement since it doesn’t define the timescale, number of shots or the type of vaccine used.
All it means is “Are you compliant”.
It’s useless for health purposes, but then so are the “vaccines”.
But as you note, it’s a very useful metric for ovine submission.
Vax passport QR codes have to be renewed monthly, it would be very simple for them to deny that renewal to any who decline to have their vaccines renewed to fit any changed definition of ‘fully vaxed’.
The human rights abuses are simply astonishing. As has been said elsewhere, some of the most evil people possible are those that do evil thinking it is for the greater good.
Wonder why the comments were wiped…
The more rights are abused and withdrawn, allegedly over a disease that is hard to catch and not to survive, will eventually lead to a backlash – if not from the vaxxed but from the large numbers of unvaxxed and their allies.
Given all the law making that is going on against unvaccinated, it makes sense that companies want to protect their slave laborer pool from the inferior and unreliable untermenschen. It’s like discriminating against people who don’t have a driver’s license (regardless of whether they are able to drive). You can’t have your cake and eat it too.
I see your bi-polar disorder has flipped again today.
I suspect the squad of 77 that he belongs to are short of laptops so the responses from the alleged ‘rayc’ depend on who was given the computer to play with.
What a fucking idiotic comment. Get a hobby FFS
People who carry private personal insurance may find that they are covered to sue.
Rejecting applicants without ID. Just so happens that the only way to get the ID is by using a health issue, its not unusual for a health scare to be used this way. In fact its one of the best tactics for control. Hopefully the Segregation will work both ways as the non jabbed will need ‘safe’ places to go to
If the unvaxxed applicants can wait a while, they may find those employers are calling back. And somewhat desperate for staff who won’t drop dead unexpectedly.
So, let me get this straight …
Gibraltar has a near-perfect, 100% take up in vaccinations, yet Covid-19 is rife in that country.
Yeah, that seems reasonable. Oh …, gotta run, just had an NHS text for my third jab and I’m ecstatic! Mind you, when I say ‘run,’ that’s a bit of an exaggeration as this DVT certainly slows me down these days, as do the irregular heartbeats. Still, can’t complain, eh?
And muzzles, and paw-washing, and reduced capacity, and recoiling in terror from each other.
But no domestic vaxxports.
Only the domestic vaxxports can Save Our Christmas.
Thanks for letting me have a ‘normal’ xmas!!!, but no puss in jackboots for me (not vaccinated)
Scotland can expect normal Christmas, says Swinney – BBC News
My three little comments are gone… but I’m stll here. Now I’ll take a vaccine!
Note to employers… don’t b***y complain there’s a labour shortage and you can’t get workers then…
No Jews, no blacks, no Irish, no healthy people either.
I’m sure I have seen something similar before somewhere.
Hospitals in USA and in first world countries are refusing life-saving Ivermectin treatment even with court orders. Big Pharma doing everything they can to jab us no matter what, while alternative COVID cures EXIST! There happens to be heavy censorship who are looking for these treatments. The Research Is Clear: Ivermectin Is a Safe, Effective Treatment for COVID. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
Unvaccinated? You’re a disease vector. No need for proof.
We have to boycott any company that is acting in this way. What else is in our arsenal, other than actual weapons?
As your medical history is private and covered by data protection, what right does any prospective employer have to know whether or not you’ve been jabbed with this rubbish? Personally I wouldn’t want to work for any such employer that is in thrall to the dictatorship that know presides over the UK.
