Of course Green Pass, in Canada. In the country with the maple leaf there is no longer hiding behind a possible negative buffer, and in several companies, even in the automotive sector, the definitive choice has been made. It will be possible to enter work, and therefore keep it, only after having carried out the vaccine for Covid-19.
Stellantis, General Motors and Ford they will adapt the workforce in their factories to accommodate only vaccinated personnel. According to reports Auto News Canada, the measure was opposed by the trade unions. The various acronyms present have always claimed to be in favor of the vaccination campaign in the factory, but have not supported the obligation. The reason, according to the president of the Unifor union Jerry Dias, is the following: “Frankly we do not agree that a veteran of the company, who may have been working on site for 25 years without ever causing a problem, should be fired because he chooses not to get vaccinated.“.
Despite this theory, which the Houses could easily refute by relying on the value of the public interest that prevails over the private one, General Motors will activate the measure starting next December 12th (thus giving sufficient notice to the unvaccinated to comply); Stellantis will follow on December 17th; Ford will opt for January 3, 2022. Other unions are trying to persuade companies to take measures that have viable alternatives to ensure safety for all employees, possibly hoping that more time will pass without any layoffs being initiated. No concrete data has yet been provided on the percentage of vaccinated in the establishments, but it is likely that the rule will change it.
In the event that infections increase again and there are still harmful consequences for the number of deaths and hospital commitment, the possibility that vaccines are made mandatory also in Europe could take on new concreteness. Fortunately, however, the vaccination campaign is already paying off with fewer severe cases and fewer hospitalizations.
