I am a first-year nursing student. I am writing to discuss a concern regarding the clinical placement requirements. One of the requirements for clinical placement is to have at least two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. However, I am currently unvaccinated and, after careful consideration, have decided not to get vaccinated. From my understanding, the government no longer mandates COVID-19 vaccination for healthcare workers. Could you please help me explore my options and any possible accommodations that may be available? I am committed to fulfilling the clinical placement requirements and would appreciate any guidance you can provide. Thank you for your assistance.

I work for a non union coal mine in alberta. Since the change in government in 2018 the company has been going through layoff periods because of the early shutdown of coal resources. In all these layoffs employees have been getting severance packages. Now we are getting closer to the end of the mine the company is saying they are only gonna give a two year working severance for the remaining last employees? Are they allowed to do this? Does not seem very fair to me. If they do this can I request a package instead of a two year working severance?
