Coca-Cola’s vaccination policy for B.C. employees upheld by arbitrator after union’s challenge

Policy brought in after major COVID-19 outbreaks; union argued it amounted to ‘forced medical procedure’

A legal challenge by the union representing more than 400 Coca-Cola employees in B.C.’s Lower Mainland regarding the company’s vaccination policy has been shot down by an independent arbitrator.

In October 2021, Coca-Cola implemented a nationwide policy that required employees be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. If employees were not fully vaccinated by Jan. 1, 2022, they could face discipline including suspension and termination.
