Since the arbitrator did not issue a cease-and-desist order (similar to an injunction) as per our application regarding Canada Post Corporation’s vaccination practice, the next step is for an arbitrator to hear the merit of the case by way of priority.
The cease-and-desist application asks an arbitrator to rule on whether the practice shall be suspended while grievances are heard on the merit. The questions that will be put to an arbitrator (or the scope) on the merit will be broader and different than the narrow criteria used for a cease-and-desist application.

Members across the country have
British Columbia residents in their
thoughts after weeks of record rainfall,
flooding and landslides, which created
perhaps the country’s most expensive
natural disaster ever seen. Emergency
response efforts are just shifting into
recovery mode.
Many communities were isolated by
floods, landslides and bridge washouts;
people are missing and there are five
reports of death. Farming communities
are devastated by flooding, hundreds of
thousands of farm animals have died,
and food and water supplies are
contaminated.

All members actively at work were required to attest to vaccination status by
November 26 or be placed on leave without pay. This is an update for those who did attest.
Canada Post Corporation has established a national safety audit and compliance team to perform random spot-checks. You may be contacted and asked for proof of the status you attested to.
You may be contacted by either email or a letter to your home and asked to submit proof from the appropriate provincial health authority within five (5) business days of receiving the request. Letters and emails should start to be issued next week.
