My concern about refusing EI is based on ethic reasons. In a social state, government/ society looks after the well being of all people, not just the ones that conform with a certain opinion. People who break the law and go to jail will still be fed there and will receive programs and social assistance when they get out.
People who get fired for not getting vaccinated have had made contributions to EI from their wages and my feeling is they have a moral right to not fall out of social security even if they are wrong.
If other employees are getting EI when they get fired, they should too.
Social democracy has to be very careful to not turn into a more authoritarian system. And todays world seem to tend to that.
Gord covered the fired aspect, if fired typically no EI, it's for those who are laid off. People who don't get hired after finishing their education don't get EI either, even if working as a TA or something like that. People who become too sick to work, no EI.My concern about refusing EI is based on ethic reasons.

I had a knee injury with an operation and was off work for six weeks- I was getting EI ( that was 20 years ago).People who become too sick to work, no EI.
Well after TAing I couldn't qualify.EI does include sick benefits and compassionate care benefits.
Exactly...and possibly that this is a one time occurrance due to a pandemic and not necessarily a declaration for every vaccine that may occur in the future.The unions are between a rock and a hard place. They need to support vaccination requirements to protect other nurses and support those who do not want vaccinations.

I think any business can elect to check vaccine status on their property, it's just that it is mandatory for restaurants, bars, gyms, etc. Our corporate parent is checking vaccine status of visitors (i.e. not employees) and requiring a rapid test if they aren't fully vaccinated. We have not adopted that at my office, though.Hair salons and churches can elect to check for Vax status too.
