Even telecommuting federal public servants must be vaccinated draft policy states: union executive
OTTAWA — Even federal employees who work from home will have to be vaccinated to keep their jobs if the government’s draft mandatory-vaccine policy stands, according to one union executive.
Stephane Aubry, vice-president of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC), says the draft, as well as other communication between unions and the government, suggests that the Treasury Board is leaning toward making vaccination a condition of employment.
That won’t happen. Public service union members are too important to LPC election prospects, some sort of expensive, to us, compromise will be worked out.
