In normal times, without COVID, might be a nice place to work - but during COVID their personal biases led them to disregard equal opportunities and to unfair treatment towards me.The good thingsFairfield City Council can be a colourful, diverse and (maybe) rewarding place to work at, if you have the right attitude and don't "make waves". They have modern, up to date facilities and the colleagues are from a variety of backgrounds and generally pleasant to work with and helpful. Pay (through a staffing agency) was more than adequate
The challengesThe main challenge has been working during the pandemic, during which the compulsory COVID vaccination was introduced, with the provision that if one had a medical condition which prevented them to take such vaccine, one could (in theory) present it to the Council and be accepted as a "normal" worker. The medical certificate for exemption I did present, but instead of treating me as a "normal worker" they suspended me indefinitely - never got a shift again. They cheat and don't follow their own rules and put their personal preferences and ideology before State legislation and medically accepted documents.
