DATE OF DECISION: December 20, 2021
1. These matters come to me by way of consensual appointment. The grievances concern
the suspension and ultimate termination of Grievor. These matters were scheduled for
hearing on December 20, 2021.
2. On December 20, 2021, despite having notice of the hearing date, the Grievor failed to
attend. The hearing was adjourned from 10:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M. to allow the Union to
contact the Grievor to ascertain whether or not she intended to and/or was able to attend.
Despite best efforts, they did not make contact with the Grievor.

January 6, 2022, commencing at 10:00 a.m. A Notice of Hearing will
be sent to the parties.
