The union grieved the employer's decision not to award the full-time position of Quality Control Logistics Representative to the grievor, who was the more senior applicant.
The collective agreement contained a 'sufficient ability' clause requiring the promotion of the senior employee provided they were qualified.
The employer utilized a selection process comprising an interview, written tests, and a reference check, ultimately determining the grievor was not qualified.
The Grievance Settlement Board dismissed the grievance, finding the selection process was comprehensive, fair, and reasonably concluded that the grievor lacked the requisite qualifications for the position.
