Decision
[1] The grievances before me essentially allege that the Employer improperly denied the
grievors the opportunity to move on to the interview stage of a competition. The parties agree
that the Employer will disclose the POSI questions, scoring protocol, and POSI training
materials to Union counsel, subject to certain conditions. Having regard to the agreement of the
parties, I hereby order that the following conditions shall apply to the disclosure of these
materials:
1) No copies of any of the POSI-related material may be made by Union counsel. The
grievors will not be provided with copies, either hard copy or electronic, nor with the
opportunity to copy the material manually;
2) The Employer will provide a witness copy of the above-noted materials for the hearing;
3) At the end of the arbitration, Union counsel is to return its copies of the POSI-related
material to the Employer;
4) All information about the POSI (the number of questions, the type of questions, the
competencies assessed, and the scoring protocols) are not to be communicated outside of
the arbitration process;
5) The specific questions in the POSI will be excluded from the arbitrator's written decision
and the questions only be referred to generically.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 24th day of April 2014.
Ken Petryshen , Vice-Chair
