DECISION
In a pre-hearing conference call, the Union requested the GSB to direct the
Employer to provide the Union with certain particulars. To support its decision to
discharge the grievor, the Employer intends to demonstrate that the grievor obtained air
miles on purchases by customers who did not claim the air miles. By the end of the
conference call, the only outstanding issue was whether the Union is entitled to know the
Employer’s cost of an air mile. Counsel for the Employer noted that the Employer is
obliged to keep this information confidential and argued that such information is not
arguably relevant.
Having considered the submissions of counsel, it is my conclusion that the
information sought by the Union is arguably relevant. Accordingly, the Employer is
directed to forthwith provide to the Union the Employer’s cost for an air mile. This
information can only be used by the Union and the grievor in connection with this
proceeding and for no other purpose.
Dated at Toronto, this 13th day of December, 2000.
Ken Petryshen, Vice-Chair.
