Refusals to work not meeting criteria in Ontario, Quebec

As more provincial economies reopen for business, more employers are also dealing with work refusals from their staff.

But the vast majority of work refusals submitted during the COVID-19 pandemic are not meeting legal criteria, according to a report by CBC.
