The Globe & Mail mandates new hires to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 — while claiming the outlet is "committed to equitable opportunities.”In a job description posted Wednesday, the Globe explicitly states candidates for the role of Calgary-based reporter must be fully vaccinated, and be able to provide proof.According to its “vaccination policy,” “all offers of employment with the Globe and Mail are conditional upon the candidate being fully vaccinated,” with their latest jab at least 14 days before their start date.“To be fully vaccinated is defined as someone who has received the full series of a vaccine or a combination of vaccines accepted by the Government of Canada,” wrote the Globe in the job description, specifying those include Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Janssen.“To prove they are fully vaccinated, all new hires will be required to provide evidence by emailing a copy of their vaccine dose administration receipt(s) to Human Resources prior to their start date.”The outlet warns anyone hoping for an exemption is at the mercy of Human Resources — and if their exemption is denied, their "offer of employment will be revoked.”.New study ranks universities on discrimination due to pro-DEI hiring policies.The same job posting ironically congratulates itself on its commitment to “fostering diversity and inclusivity.”It calls itself a “national icon” and a “trusted destination for Canadians seeking the highest caliber of journalism,” while stating its ideological biases.“We are proud partners with organizations like Indigenous Works, Pride at Work, the Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion, and we are a signatory of the BlackNorth Initiative,” states the description.“We are committed to creating equitable opportunities for all employees, to enable everyone to reach their full potential."“We welcome and encourage applications from individuals from all groups, regardless of race, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexual orientation, religion, socio-economic status, age and physical ability.”“As required by the Federal Contractors Program, the Globe tracks the proportion of staff in the four Employment Equity categories (women, aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities, and members of visible minorities) to ensure we are reflecting the areas in which we work.”The Globe did not reply to the Western Standard’s request for comment.
