Why? They were remote workers

Because they will come in contact with people outside of work. We need to protect the vulnerable as much as possible.

I would say that’s not Canada Post’s responsibility.

I could also argue it’s the workplace’s responsibility to keep their workers safe.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but that responsibility is limited to during working hours and/or inside the workplace. (And to be clear, I’m referring to their employer, Canada Post, not the Canadian Government, who does have the right to enforce similar mandates in a Public Health Emergencies like the one we just had)
