DECISION
[1] The grievances filed on behalf of Ms. R. Sookdeosingh are scheduled to be
heard on August 22, 2019. The Union has requested that the hearing be adjourned
because Ms. Sookdeosingh is unable to attend the hearing. She is currently out of the
country pursuing studies for a Ph.D. After hearing submissions from counsel on the
Union’s adjournment request during a conference call, I advised counsel that I would
grant the Union’s request for an adjournment in the circumstances.
[2] Accordingly, the hearing in this matter scheduled for August 22, 2019, is hereby
adjourned. I discussed with counsel different ways for this matter to proceed. Counsel
for the Union indicated that he will consult with Ms. Sookdeosingh and soon report back
to Employer counsel and myself about how the Union wishes to proceed with the
hearing of the grievances.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 21st day of August, 2019.
“Ken Petryshen”
