The union filed grievances alleging that the grievor suffered harassment and discrimination based on sexual orientation, creating a poisoned work environment.

The employer brought a motion to exclude evidence of events that occurred prior to a 1998 Minutes of Settlement.

The union brought a motion seeking a compliance order, alleging the employer breached a previous interim relief order by failing to pay the grievor full-time wages during a work hardening program.

The Grievance Settlement Board granted the employer's motion, finding that admitting evidence of events settled by the 1998 Minutes of Settlement would be inequitable and prejudicial.

The Board dismissed the union's motion, finding the employer treated the grievor like any other employee returning to work on a gradual basis and did not breach the interim order.
