Decision
[1] This grievance was filed on October 17, 2014 disputing the Employer’s process
for granting an unpaid leave of absence so that the Grievor could engage in
employment outside of the OPS.
[2] A hearing in this matter was scheduled for August 21, 2015. The Employer and
the Union appeared before me and I was informed that the Grievor had not shown up.
The Union tried to contact the Grievor by telephone. However, it was not successful.
[3] After waiting until 10:30 to ensure that the Grievor was indeed not going to
appear, Employer counsel requested that this grievance be dismissed. I am reluctant to
do so at this point without giving the Grievor notice. Therefore I hereby order that within
two weeks, the Grievor must provide sufficient reasons as to why he could not show up
on this day. Should no reasons be provided or I deem them insufficient, then this matter
will be deemed to be dismissed.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 21st day of August 2015.
David R. Williamson, Vice-Chair
