Canadian employers shed unvaccinated workers, labor lawyers in demand [View all]

OTTAWA (Reuters) -Canadian employers are firing or putting on unpaid leave thousands of workers who refused to get COVID-19 shots, squeezing an already tight labor market and raising prospects of potentially disruptive legal challenges.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promisedvaccine mandates as a central part of his successful campaign for re-election in September, setting a precedent that has spread from the public to the private sector.

The mandate for federal workers is one of the world's strictest, and the government has extended it to federally regulated spaces, which include airports, and to air and rail travelers.

Across Canada, hospitals, banks, insurers, school boards, police and some provincial administrations are now implementing similar policies for current and future hires.
