Attached is a link to the recent publication of the Alberta
Federation of Labour. Kudos to the AFL and all unions and
their advisors who are becoming increasingly vocal in recognizing
the current validity of workplace policies that require vaccination
or regular testing.
Our legal opinion on this issue has always been it
"Depends".
Key factors on which this "Depends" include:
effectiveness of the vaccine, risks of vaccination,
effectiveness of available workplace risk mitigation measures short
of vaccination or testing, industry accepted and / or expected
practices for workplace health and safety, and the seriousness of
the current health / emergency situation and effects of this on
your workplace.
