Massive criticism is now coming from social democratic and liberal trade unionists. The two trade unionists Hermann Greylinger (FSG) and Werner Herbert (AUF) demanded that the vaccination obligation should be monitored mainly by officials from the health authorities on Tuesday in the “Ö1” morning journal.
“It can’t be that it’s always just dumped on the colleagues,” stated Greylinger, chairman of the faction of social democratic trade unionists (FSG). He was skeptical about the usefulness of the controls. “What happens if those affected never pay in?” The police have to do a job that is “useless and pointless, and we oppose that,” Greylinger said.
The chairman of the blue police union, AUF, Werner Herbert, expressed his incomprehension that the police were used for an “excess of control activities”. It is “used inappropriately for political purposes,” said Herbert. The free trade unionist also criticized the fact that plainclothes police officers go on patrol to carry out 2G controls in retail. So it was “probably unique” that “normal police officers in civilian clothes monitor the shopping habits of the Austrian population,” said Herbert, he hadn’t experienced that in 40 years of service.
The current chairman of the police union, Reinhard Zimmermann, from the Christian Trade Unionists (FCG) faction, which is close to the ÖVP, did not want to make a public statement. He first wanted to find out details about the new order from the Ministry of the Interior, he told “Ö1”.
