HEARING July 23, 2020 (via video conference)
- 2 -
Decision
[1] At the hearing on July 23, 2020, there was an unsuccessful attempt to mediate the
dispute. I decided that opening statements would not be useful because there
were factual issues that had to be clarified and the employer had yet to provide full
production of arguably relevant documentation.
[2] After discussion, it was decided that there would be a video conference held on
October 2, 2020 to deal with pre-hearing motions in advance of the hearing
scheduled for December 2, 2020. The parties will receive confirmation of the
October 2 hearing from the GSB.
[3] In addition, I hereby order that the employer is to provide full disclosure of all
arguably relevant material to the union by no later than September 4, 2020.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 23rd day of July, 2020.

Barry Stephens, Arbitrator
