HPAE would like to remind everyone that the deadline to either initiate vaccination, provide proof of vaccination for Covid or be granted a medical or religious accommodation is Monday, August 2nd.
The Coalition of Rutgers Unions (CRU) has met with Rutgers (RU) this week to negotiate over the impact of the mandatory vaccination policy. We will continue to negotiate on Monday. The CRU asked many questions, some of which RU clarified.
We’ve been working on several important issues and have some updates. Be on the lookout for notices in the coming week about our next set of membership meetings.
While HPAE continues to bargain with the Hospital regarding the impact of this mandate on our membership, it is imperative that our members either schedule their vaccination appointment or apply for either a religious or medical exemption.
