441-00805 (Employment and labour)

WHEREAS:

• Canada Post ordered the vaccination of all employees to be attested to no later than November 12, 2021 or face the consequence of breaching practice with discipline up to and including termination;

• The leadership at Canada Post has requested personal medical information from its employees, leaving those with hesitation to share their personal medical details with few options;

• Justification for this company-wide requirement was based on the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine in preventing transmission of the COVID-19 virus, leaving those with health concerns relating to the administration of the vaccine with few options, but to participate in the attestation scheme under duress;

• The leadership at Canada Post maintained their decision to uphold the practice of attesting to medical status or facing disciplinary action despite the June 20, 2022, suspension of federally regulated vaccine mandates as per Canada Public Health officials;

• The leadership at Canada Post withheld any compensation for those dismissed from their position due to a breach of practice, despite suspending administrative LWOP for those unwilling to comply to the practice, on July 6, 2022; and

• Those individuals affected by the Canada Post imposed attestation requirement are still in need of compensation.

THEREFORE:

We, the undersigned citizens of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to investigate Canada Post for their treatment of employees who refused to attest to their personal vaccination status and demand that Canada Post compensate those affected employees for monetary loss pertaining to leave without pay or employment termination.
