DECISION
[1] Ms. Judith Webster, a Registered Nurse 2 at the Essex-Middlesex
Detention Centre, filed a grievance on May 27, 2015, which
proceeded to a hearing on September 12 and 13, 2018, pursuant to
the expedited protocol agreed to by the parties (“medarbs”). The
grievor did not attend the hearing on either of those dates.
[2] The Employer seeks an order of the Board compelling the attendance
of the grievor at the next scheduled “medarb” dates on March 26 and
27, 2019. At the outset of the hearing, the parties agreed that I had
the jurisdiction to deal with this matter. They asked that I issue an
order on this motion, without precedent or prejudice, and without
written reasons.
[3] Having carefully considered the submissions of the parties, as well
as the jurisprudence of the Board, I hereby order that the grievor
must attend on March 26 or 27, 2019 or her grievance may be
dismissed for failure to appear.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 14th day of September, 2018.
“Brian P. Sheehan”
