Decision
[1] A conference call was held at the request of the Parties to address a matter
arising out of the implementation of the Minutes of Settlement entered into by the
Parties on June 2, 2015.
[2] The Parties advised they had reached an impasse in putting into effect the
provisions of paragraph 6 of the afore-mentioned Minutes of Settlement. In part, this
paragraph provides that the Employer agrees to provide the Grievor with a mutually
agreeable reclining chair for use in the workplace to assist in accommodating the
Grievor’s medical condition.
[3] The Parties disclosed during the course of the conference call that they had not
been able to mutually agree on the selection of an appropriate reclining chair.
[4] The Parties in turn put forward their positions and views to the under-signed
Vice-Chair and requested that a Decision be provided by the Vice-Chair without
providing reasons.
[5] As set out orally to the Parties on October 28, 2015, the Employer is to provide
Ms. Lacroix with a Reclina-Pedic chair made by Southern Motion (the RP chair) that
was identified on June 3, 2015 as being available from Leon’s Furniture and for which
Ms. Lacroix’s family physician had provided written approval on June 11, 2015.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 3rd day of November 2015.
David R. Williamson, Vice-Chair
