Arbitrator found no workplace accommodation needed for stair climbing based on joint independent medical examination.

The union filed grievances regarding workplace accommodation and allegations of past discrimination and harassment for a correctional officer.

In a bifurcated process, the arbitrator first considered whether the grievor required accommodation on a go-forward basis regarding her ability to climb stairs.

Following a jointly agreed independent medical examination by an orthopedic surgeon, which concluded the grievor had no physical limitation preventing her from climbing stairs 7-10 times per shift, the arbitrator found no accommodation was needed.

The arbitrator then issued procedural directions for the second phase of the hearing concerning liability for past discrimination and harassment.
