Arbitrator rules 40 GTA healthcare workers who were terminated over COVID-19 vaccine refusal must be compensated
Toronto — In a recent ruling, Arbitrator John Stout partially upheld grievances filed by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) against the William Osler Health System concerning the termination and suspension of healthcare employees who refused to comply with the hospital’s COVID-19 vaccination policy.
The arbitration addressed a policy grievance and 82 individual grievances related to the hospital's COVID-19 Vaccination Policy, implemented on November 7, 2021. This policy required all employees to receive two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Employees who did not comply faced disciplinary actions, including unpaid suspensions and terminations. A total of 42 members of the bargaining unit were suspended, and 40 were terminated.
Arbitrator Stout ruled that while the hospital was justified in terminating the employees, those dismissed for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine did not act with "malicious intent."
Stout concluded that, under the Employment Standards Act, 2000, their actions did not constitute "willful misconduct, disobedience, or willful neglect of duty." As a result, they are entitled to receive both termination and severance pay.

Make sure the charges are paid by the people who screwed up ...not charges to the tax payers
Lovers of medical freedom will take the scraps. Your work can fire you for being correct about the dangers of the deadly injections, but they must pay termination and severance pay.
Let’s see if the world wakes up to the genocide of the covid-19 injections. The actuaries have redefined excess death, but anyone can see that 2021-2023 is far worse than 2020.
