Decision
[1] Further to the consent of the Parties, I issue the following Consent Decision:
It is acknowledged that the manager repeated comments that
were made at OPSEU’s convention in 2018, which were
previously brought to his attention by other staff.
The Employer acknowledges that the comments were
inappropriate, and ought not to have been made in a
workplace setting.
The Employer regrets any impact these comments may have
had on the Grievor.
The Employer acknowledges that it is required to abide by
Article 3.2 of the Collective Agreement and recognizes the
right of any bargaining unit member to participate in the lawful
activities of the union, without influence from management.
This decision is issued in accordance with Article 22.16 and
has no precedential value.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 13th day of June, 2019.
