Hamilton will move ahead with plans to terminate unvaccinated employees next month

 

A union representing public transit workers in Hamilton is vowing to fight a decision by city council to move ahead with terminating unvaccinated employees as soon as next month.

City staff had previously recommended that council suspend the city’s mandatory vaccination policy, except for new hires.

But during a meeting on Wednesday council voted to keep the policy in place for the time being.

The decision paves the way for hundreds of non-compliant workers to be terminated after May 31, unless they provide proof that they have been fully vaccinated.
