AS LAWSUITS PILE UP, FEDS' PROTECTION NOWHERE TO BE SEEN

When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled his election platform on Sept. 1, he made a promise to employers: "we'll protect businesses that mandate vaccinations from unjustified lawsuits."

Now, employment lawyers say lawsuits from fired unvaccinated workers are beginning to pile up — and the federal government's protections are nowhere to be seen.

"We are seeing a huge amount of cases, claims, lawsuits involving terminations resulting from an individual's vaccine status," said Lior Samfiru, a Toronto employment lawyer and co-founder of Samfiru Tumarkin LLP.
