[1] This matter is a grievance filed by OPSEU on behalf of Kathleen Osborne that
was scheduled to be heard commencing at 10:00 a.m. over video conferencing
on April 12, 2023.
[2] The Union has made repeated attempts to contact Ms. Osborne by email, regular
mail, couriered correspondence, and phone. The Union has sent letters to Ms.
Osborne asking her to contact them. The Union sent the link for today’s video
conference to Ms. Osborne by email. The Union has not been able to contact
Ms. Osborne and she had not responded to any of its letters. Ms. Osborne did
not attend today’s hearing.
[3] Ms. Osborne is hereby ordered to provide to the Union the reasons for her
absence at today’s hearing no later than May 5, 2023, failing which this matter
will be deemed dismissed.
[4] In the event Ms. Osborne provides the Union with the reasons for her absence,
such reasons are to be provided to counsel for the LCBO who will then advise
the GSB, no later than May 26, 2023, whether the Employer is satisfied with the
reasons provided and agrees to the relisting of this matter or is not satisfied with
the reasons and seeks to have the matter dismissed.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 13th day of April 2023.
