The Alberta Labour Relations Board has dismissed a complaint by a former Alberta health department employee who was fired over a text to a co-worker asking for help to fake her vaccination status. 
“The employer concluded the complainant had violated the employer’s Code Of Ethics and the misconduct was aggravated by her work as a frontline employee who had regular interactions with vulnerable patients and other employees,” wrote the board in its July 17 ruling, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.
