First of all, I know this is a huge violation of the Human Rights Code and the Charter of Rights and Freedom, but still this is just not right. Apparently, their excuse is that they want to remove masks at the workplace, despite being the total opposite around the world, and they are really trying yo encourage everyone to get the vaccine. I really hope they have some hard data to back up their claims, otherwise should I get a good lawyer in case something happens?

A better question is, how do they know employees got the vaccine or not in the first place? Even asking an employee whether or not they got the vaccine is an illegal quetsion, as employers don't have the right to know your medical history.
Basically, they asked every department for a list of vaccinated vs unvaccinated, which I found odd in the first place. Therefore, all Team Leaders and managers complied. I never thought they would go that far.
Lawyer up, that sounds on its face to be, at best, inappropriate and at worst illegal to the point where the management of that company can be sued.
I live in Montreal, so I do not know if I can find a good lawyer here.
The provincial law society should have links to employment lawyers, which, as a start, might help.
My work offered a cash bonus for vaxx and also said that vaxx proof would be used to gather demographic information about the employees.
Yes it's a neo nazi right wing conspiracy theory of course.
And you'll be on HR's radar, and the first rule of HR is to assume they're out to screw employees, not the employer.
Unless HR wabts a huge lawsuit against them, they can try that.
