Ruling in Favour of Employee Denied Employment Insurance for Not Taking the Covid Vaccine

 
 

In September 2022 another case involving the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms came to a positive conclusion in front of the Social Security Tribunal.

A delivery driver from the Toronto area was suspended by his employer and subsequently denied employment insurance. This occurred as a result of not taking the covid vaccine.

Service Canada denied the employees claim stating that refusal to be vaccinated amounted to employment misconduct. This position was supported by Minister Qualtrough who has stated that individuals terminated for refusing vaccination should not qualify for employment insurance.

While the Social Security Tribunal did not side with the government, there are many other Canadians who lost their jobs due to an individual choice that is a guaranteed right under the Charter. This politically motivated stance of Service Canada, along with the statements of high-ranking government officials such as the Minister, are further evidence of the coercive measures taken to basically force many Canadians to make a choice they would not have otherwise made.
