CIRA/CAWLS Webinar:

"The Labour Relations of COVID Vaccine Mandates"


The introduction of vaccine mandates in workplaces to address the COVID-19 pandemic raise a number of complex labour relations issues. Workers and their unions recognize the immediate need to protect workers’ health and safety through widespread vaccine distribution. They must also consider longer term issues of protecting collective agreement language and limiting employer intrusion into workers’ privacy. This webinar explores how unions have been responding to this issue and what it might mean for labour relations in the future.

This webinar is jointly sponsored by the Canadian Industrial Relations Associations and the Canadian Association of Work and Labour Studies.

[This webinar will be in English]

  • Dr. Alison Braley-Rattai, Associate Professor, Labour Studies at Brock University

  • Troy Winter, Senior Health and Safety Officer at Canadian Union of Public Employees
