Order
[1] The Board is seized with a job competition grievance filed by Mr. Dennis
Dufour. In advance of the scheduled hearing date, the parties discussed by
email procedure and disclosure issues, and requested that the Board
determine and issue an order in that regard.
[2] Accordingly, I hereby make the following order:
(a) The Employer is directed to produce copies of the
applications, interview records, and appraisals of the
applicants who ranked as the top eight applicants based on
their raw scores at the competition stage of job competition ID
175887. The Employer may redact applicant names and
personal identifying information from these materials,
provided that it provides unique identifiers in place of such
names to allow the union to be able to cross reference
individual applications and appraisals of those applications
against other materials. The Employer is to provide such
disclosure by February 27, 2023.
(b) The information produced pursuant to this order is not to be
used by the Union or Grievor for any purpose other than for
the present proceeding relating to the grievance regarding job
competition ID 175887. At the conclusion of this proceeding,
the Grievor is to delete or destroy any copies of the above-
noted materials in his possession.
(c) The Parties may seek amendment of this order, or seek
additional orders with respect to production as may become
necessary in the course of this proceeding.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 27th day of February 2023.
“Nimal Dissanayake”
