Office Politics: Vaccination status and the workplace

Guest: Jacob Lorinc, Business Reporter at The Star. The message early in the pandemic was simple from many employers: Get vaccinated. Now, as vaccine mandates are being lifted, some employees who were suspended or laid off for choosing not to get vaccinated are fighting back, often through their unions or civil lawsuits. The other issue is the vast majority of employees are vaccinated, many of whom are in favour of some type of rules in the office, so that they feel safer about heading back. Some employers are experimenting with radical solutions, but what is the fair and equitable way forward for all? This episode was produced by Brian Bradley, Paulo Marques and Raju Mudhar.
