Unvaccinated employees can return to work, or get a small pay out, union president says.

City of Prince George employees who were put on unpaid leave for a year because of their decision not to comply with the city’s Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccine Program are “angry and upset” about how the city has handled the situation, according to a union representative.

Unvaccinated city employees were put on an unpaid leave of absence starting on Jan. 14, 2022, and faced permanent termination on Jan. 15 this year. On Jan. 13 at 5 p.m., the City of Prince George announced it was suspending its Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccine Program. In an interview with the Citizen on Jan. 12, Mayor Simon Yu said 16 workers were on unpaid leave, for failing to comply with the city’s Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccine Program.

“Needless to say most of our members are quite angry and upset as they have gone through a tough time over the past year and feel that they were wronged by the City,” Welch said. “Some have expressed that they don’t see how they can return to an organization that treated them so badly, and negatively impacted their careers and lives.”
