[2] Fred O’Toole is also a Correctional Officer at Ottawa Carleton Detention Centre. He has filed a number of grievances alleging unjust discipline. [3] The two grievors were both suspended without pay for an alleged excessive use of force incident. [4] At a recent med/arb date, the parties agreed to put all of these matters before me for determination. It was also agreed that two days of hearing be scheduled. It was also agreed that although that might not be sufficient time for these matters to be heard, the process utilized to litigate these matters would be efficient and truncated. Further discussion in this regard will be conducted after there has been full disclosure. [5] The Employer is ordered to provide all of the appropriate disclosure to the Union. Once that information has been received, if the Union has no objections, it will be sent to the Board for review. This will facilitate discussions regarding process. [6] Once the Board has been sent the information a teleconference will be scheduled for this purpose. [7] I remain seized. Dated at Toronto this 23rd day of May 2013. Felicity D. Briggs, Vice-Chair
