Former Attorney General Claims Purolator Arbitration Case Will Significantly Affect BC’s Vaccine Mandate
The Supreme Court of British Columbia recently issued a ruling in favor of fired Purolator employees who were not vaccinated. The court has ordered the company to compensate these employees for lost wages and benefits.
The decision in the Purolator arbitration case has been described as a “game changer” by a former British Columbia attorney general. Suzanne Anton, who served as justice minister under the B.C. Liberal government of Christy Clark, commented on the potential impact of this ruling on vaccine mandates for health-care workers in the province. A group of unvaccinated health-care workers has filed a lawsuit against B.C. Provincial Health Officer Bonnie Henry, seeking to have the vaccine mandate removed so they can return to work. B.C. is the only remaining province to maintain the vaccine requirement for health-care workers. The arbitrator’s decision in the Purolator case has been heralded as a significant development and is expected to have broad implications.
