Decision
The Board is seized with three group grievances filed by employees of the
employer at its offices in Kitchener-Waterloo, Mississauga and London respectively.
The three group grievances raise common issues.
At the hearing on May 9, 2008, the parties engaged in discussions with my
assistance, to agree upon an efficient procedure to deal with the grievances. They came
to the following terms of agreement, and requested that those terms be set out in a Board
decision.
The agreed upon terms are as follows:
1.The Union shall identify one grievor forming part of the Kitchener-Waterloo
group grievance, and also provide the employer with full particulars and
disclosure with respect to that grievor?s claim, on or before June 20, 2008.
2.The employer will provide to the union full particulars and disclosure on or
before August 1, 2008.
3.The hearing with respect to the grievance as it relates to the grievor referred to
above shall commence on September 5, 2008, and continue on the dates
scheduled as necessary.
4.In the event any disputes arise as to particulars/ disclosure or otherwise in
implementing the terms herein, the parties may contact the Board to schedule a
hearing by conference call before me.
5.The parties may, upon mutual consent, extend the time lines set out herein for
purposes of providing particulars/disclosure. In the event of no agreement, the
party seeking extension may request a hearing by conference call.
6.All of the grievances other than the one to be determined pursuant to the terms
herein shall be held in abeyance until the disposition of this matter.

7.I shall remain seized of all of the grievances.
