Concerns of nine former City of Quesnel employees who lost their jobs for refusing vaccine 'fall squarely within the exclusive jurisdiction of an arbitration board.'
A B.C. Supreme Court Justice has dismissed a civil action brought against the City of Quesnel and the provincial government by a group of former municipal employees who lost their jobs for refusing to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
"Because the plaintiffs ask the court to adjudicate a matter over which it has no jurisdiction, their claim cannot be said to have any prospect of success." But Smith found they failed to back up that position with material facts and that the arbitration process under the Labour Relations Code includes third-party adjudication and safeguards. A hearing before an LRB board of arbitration had been scheduled for late October, however a decision has not been posted on its website as of Thursday.
