A large union representing nearly 240,000 workers across Canada has filed a grievance against the federal government’s mandatory vaccination policy in the workplace as other jurisdictions in the country have been lifting all COVID-19 restrictions.
“As the pandemic has evolved and the science has developed, we believe continuing to put unvaccinated employees on leave without pay is a harsh administrative measure that can be considered disciplinary and without just cause,” the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) said in a March 23 statement.
