Re Canada Post Corp And Cupw (Paris), Innis Christie

Innis Christie Collection

The Grievor was initially discharged for being absent without leave. After the first arbitration hearing the Grievor was reinstated with conditions; the same conditions were awarded after a second hearing. The Grievor has now been terminated for breach of one of those conditions - the need to seek immediate medical attention when absent from work due to illness. Although the Grievor became ill Sunday evening, the Union believed that by seeking medical attention on Monday the conditions of the previous Consent Award had been met.

Re Halifax (Regional Municipality) And Halifax Professional Firefighters Assn Local 268 (Mackenzie), Innis Christie

Innis Christie Collection

The Union and Grievor believe the Employer discriminated against the latter by not returning him to an agreed position after an absence due to illness. They also believe the Employer failed to accommodate the Grievor's return to the work. The remedy requested was a return to his former position, or to the agreed position after his illness, and damages. The Employer was concerned about both legal and moral issues in the event that the Grievor was not able to fully perform his duties.

Ibew, Local 2228 V Nav Canada, Innis Christie

Innis Christie Collection

The Employer withheld the Grievor's pay and benefits owing under the salary continuation provision of the Agreement for a period of 12 days because of his refusal to sign a consent form required by the Employer's third party provider authorizing release of the Grievor's medical information to the provider. The Union does not dispute that the Employer had the right to require that the form be signed, nor the employer's having withheld the pay until the form was signed.

Re Nova Scotia Liquor Corp And Nsgeu, Local 470, Innis Christie

Innis Christie Collection

This is a consent award. The parties are agreed that the Employer breached the Agreement by not posting full-time jobs in the warehouse.

The Employer agrees to post seven (7) full-time warehouseman positions, and two (2) conditional warehouseman positions on or before December 14, 2001. The Union waives any right to claim entitlement to further warehouseman postings over the review periods spanning 1998 through 2001. The parties agree to make their best efforts to resolve issues in upcoming bargaining negotiations. Failing agreement on the meaning of the term "non-overlapping hours", either party may grieve its interpretation.
