Decision
[1]Further to a Notice of Proceeding issued on November 16, 2018, this matter was
scheduled to be heard on November 8, 19, and 20, 2019.
[2]On November 8, 2019, the Grievor did not attend. The Employer advised that, in
fact, the Grievor was at work at the time. Subsequently, Counsel for the Union
made some inquiries and advised it was his understanding that the Grievor would
be not attending the hearing on this day.
[3]After some discussions with the parties, I have decided to adjourn this matter for
today, on the following basis:
a.The Grievor is to provide a written explanation with respect to his failure to
attend today’s hearing, including why he did not provide notice in advance
that he would not be attending.
b.If this explanation involves any medical issue, the Grievor is provide
medical documentation in support of his explanation.
c.The above two items are to be provided to Employer counsel no later than
noon on Wednesday, November 13, 2019.
[4]The Employer retains the right to make a motion to dismiss this matter on the
basis of the Grievor’s failure to attend after receipt of the above information.
[5]The Union counsel was directed to advise the Grievor of the requirements of this
Order as soon as possible. He confirmed to me that he did so before I left the
hearing.
[6]The hearing for this matter will continue on the scheduled dates of November 19
and 20, 2019.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 7th day of November 2019.
