Canada’s largest federal union, the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC), didn’t challenge federal vaccine mandates in court because they believed such efforts “would have little chance of success,” according to a union official.

“It determined a legal challenge would have little chance of success and that the most effective way to represent members would be on a case by case basis,” wrote PSAC’s Public Sector Labour Relations and Employment Board, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
