Change ensures workers won't be treated unfairly or fired if they have conscientious objections
Proposed new laws on fertilisation, embryology, and surrogacy now include additional protections for workers providing fertility services.
An amendment to the Reproductive Rights Bill ensures employees cannot have their employment terminated or face unfair treatment if they conscientiously object to certain aspects of the legislation.
The Legislative Council supported the change, stating it aligns the bill with similar protections already included in the Assisted Dying Bill for healthcare staff.
Dawn Kinnish believes these additional safeguards were necessary:
BMA ballot closes today
TT winners' enclosure could be expanded
Reliability of services a key focus for the new political member for bus and rail
Homelessness 'doesn't stop because it's Christmas'
