Purolator, a courier company, has suspended its COVID-19 vaccine mandate for employees. This decision came on the same day that the law firm, Grey Wowk Spencer LLP, withdrew its multi-million dollar lawsuit against the company. The company stated that employees will no longer be required to be vaccinated for COVID-19 but will still need to respect a symptom-free environment and not attend work if they show symptoms. Those who did not comply with the vaccine policy up until May 1, will not be compensated for the time they were on unpaid leave. Employees who were asked to leave due to the mandate are being asked to return to work. Unvaccinated employees will no longer be required to undergo rapid testing. Although Purolator is a private company, it is a courier service that falls under federally regulated industries and workplaces, and the Canadian government mandated all employees in federally regulated industries to be vaccinated for COVID-19 in December 2021. Canada Post, which owns a 91 percent stake in Purolator, enacted a mandatory vaccination policy on Oct. 29, 2021, but lifted it on July 6, 2022. In May 2022, hundreds of unionized and non-unionized Purolator employees laid off because of vaccine mandates attempted to sue the company for hundreds of millions of dollars, but eventually withdrew their lawsuit against Purolator on April 13, the same day the company announced its decision to suspend its vaccine mandate policy.
