Impact of Toronto firefighter COVID-19 vaccine ruling on non-unionized terminations

A labour arbitrator recently ruled that the city of Toronto had unreasonably implemented and enforced a vaccine policy for its firefighters. Unvaccinated firefighters faced termination for cause if they chose not to take the COVID-19 vaccine and would not be given severance pay. What could this ruling mean for unvaccinated non-unionized employees?

Alex Lucifero, an Ottawa employment lawyer and Managing Partner at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP joined Matt Skube on CTV News Ottawa to discuss this ruling and more on wrongful dismissals.
