HEARING November 18, 2019

DECISION
[1] The subject grievances relate to scenarios at the Central Ambulance
Communication Centre (CACC) in Oshawa.
[2] The Grievors’ duties as Ambulance Communication Officers (ACO-1) are largely
comprised of the processing of requests for Emergency Medical Services
(EMS/Paramedics) and the dispatch of EMS resources.
[3] There has yet to be a proper crystallization of issues in this matter.
[4] Therefore I hereby Order that the following representative Grievors, Steve Shortt,
Ruth Staniszewski, and Jacqueline Lewis Wood, signify to the Union by December
4th 2019 whether or not they will continue to participate in the process, including
but not limited to reviewing production, providing detailed particulars and
participating in the hearing process.
[5] If their commitment is confirmed then the Union will, for those Grievors, identify the
shifts and dates for which the Union still requires production on or before February
28, 2020. Should the Union require additional time to identify the required
production a further request can be made to the Board.
[6] For those Grievors who decline the commitment in paragraph 4, the Union will
identify different Grievors as new representative Grievors and provide a list of shifts
for which these Grievors are requesting production. The identification of new
Grievors is without prejudice to any preliminary motions the Employer may bring
with respect to the use or identity of new representative Grievors.
[7] The Union will advise the Employer of the identity of any new representative
Grievors going forward on or before January 17, 2020. The new Grievors will
undertake to participate in the process going forward including but not limited to
reviewing the required documentation, providing particulars, and attending at the
hearing as necessary.
[8] Having identified those new representative Grievors, the Union will provide a
request for production on or before February 28, 2020. Should the Union require
-3-
additional time to identify the required production a further request can be made to
the Board.
[9] The Grievors identified in paragraph 4 who decline to participate as outlined in this
decision will have all of their grievances in relation to this issue dismissed, which
includes any right to remedies from those Grievances that continue on.
[10] The parties agree to make best efforts to set a date in March of 2020 in order to
discuss the state of production, particulars and any preliminary motions the parties
may have.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 18th day of November, 2019.
