City employees who did not get vaccinated against COVID-19 face termination on Jan. 15.
“Internal discussions are ongoing” regarding the City of Prince George’s requirement for all staff to be vaccinated against COVID-19, a city spokesperson said in an email on Thursday.
Several employees provided the Citizen with copies of letters sent to them from the city's human resources department, printed on City of Prince George letterhead, informing them that they were being placed on unpaid leave for failing to comply with the city's Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccine Program by the Jan. 14, 2022 deadline.
The employees’ positions were held until March 14 this year, after which the city began filling them. In an email, the executive of CUPE local 399 – which represents the city’s outside workers - said the union “defends the rights of its members to the fullest extent of its capacity,” in accordance with the union’s principles and the B.C. Labour Relations Code.
The Citizen could not independently confirm the number of city employees currently on unpaid leave and facing termination in January, however in October one employee said an online support group for city employees on unpaid leave has more than 30 members. In October, a spokesperson for the city said approximately 97 per cent of city employees, including those on leave, had been vaccinated.
