FEDSFORFREEDOM
FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE
In October of 2021 employees of the federal public service were subjected to coercive vaccine mandates that infringed upon our right to medical privacy, bodily autonomy and informed consent.
Abandoned by our unions and threatened by our employer, FedsForFreedom took action and created a Liberty Membership which is a network of support, education and information sharing to support public servants who have experienced significant hardship and distress as a result of the actions of the federal government. In our pursuit of justice, we have also retained legal counsel, Umar Sheikh. Together, FedsForFreedom and our legal counsel have made the decision to pursue a class action lawsuit against the Federal Government of Canada .
To become a member of our Liberty Membership and join our class action, you must meet ALL of the criteria described below, at the time the policy was introduced in your department/agency/crown-corporation;
- You are/were a Federal Public Servant employed with a crown corporation, core-department or agency
- You are/were governed by a collective agreement, represented by a Union and pay Union dues
- You are/were unvaccinated or unwilling to disclose your private medical information
- On or after the date the policy was enacted in your department/agency/crown-corporation, you suffered 1 or more of the following harms;
- were terminated;
- attested you were unvaccinated or partially vaccinated, applied for and were denied an accommodation;
- were placed on unpaid leave and have not yet returned to work;
- were placed on unpaid leave and returned to work when the mandate was suspended, on or after June 20, 2022;
- retired early, or
- sought sick leave because of the mandates
FedsForFreedom maintains that medical privacy, bodily autonomy and informed consent are inviolable fundamental rights. As a result of the government’s policy, public servants have suffered irreparable harms and seek to remedy these harms through a class action lawsuit.
