Ontario Nurses Fired Over Vaccine Mandate to be Reinstated
An Ontario arbitrator has sided with nine nurses who were dismissed for refusing to comply with their hospital’s COVID vaccine mandate, deeming their termination “unreasonable.”
This ruling carries significant weight, setting a potential precedent in arbitration involving unionized staff nurses across Ontario. Howard Goldblatt, the legal representative for the ONA, emphasized the ruling’s potential to address the critical nursing shortage by facilitating the nurses’ return to the workforce.
