DECISION
[1] I have nine discipline grievances before me that were filed on behalf of five
Grievors employed as Youth Services Officers at the Brookside Youth Centre. Having
regard to the nature of the documents that will be produced in this proceeding, I hereby
make the following directions:
1. The production of documents, which includes video and photographs, by the
Employer in this proceeding is subject to the following conditions:
a. The confidentiality of these documents shall be maintained;
b. Neither the documents nor their contents shall be disseminated or
discussed with anyone outside of this arbitration process;
c. The documents shall not be put to any use outside of this arbitration
process;
d. Subject to the terms below, the documents shall not be copied, but for
copies that are required for the Arbitrator, each party’s counsel, each
party’s advisors, or a witness during the hearing;
e. Union counsel may provide a copy to each of the Grievors for the
purposes of this case, however, the conditions of production apply to each
Grievor and at the end of this case she/they must return her copy to Union
counsel, who will return that copy to the Employer or destroy that copy,
including any copy received electronically, and confirm that it has been
destroyed;
f. The only copies to remain at the conclusion of the arbitration are the
copies in the possession of the Arbitrator and Counsel for each of the two
parties, which are to remain in the care and control of each party’s
Counsel.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 17th day of February, 2021.
“Ken Petryshen”
