Hearing adjourned with direction for grievor to show cause for non-attendance.
The grievor failed to attend a scheduled videoconference hearing before the Grievance Settlement Board.

One-day suspension upheld for driver who deliberately left vaccines unrefrigerated in protest of operational changes.
The grievor, a driver responsible for delivering vaccines, was suspended for one day after deliberately leaving vaccines on a loading dock, causing temperature excursions.
The employer also alleged the grievor breached his oath of office by making disparaging comments to public health units.
The arbitrator found the temperature excursions were proven and caused by the grievor's deliberate actions in protest of operational changes.
While the breach of the oath of office was not established due to reliance on hearsay, the one-day suspension was upheld as a reasonable penalty for the misconduct.
Application for judicial review of tribunal rule change dismissed for lack of standing and on the merits.
The applicant, a member of the Ontario College of Teachers, sought judicial review of a decision by the College's Discipline and Fitness to Practise Committees to amend their rule regarding third-party record production to align with R. v. Mills.
The Divisional Court dismissed the application, finding that the applicant lacked both private and public interest standing as he was not currently subject to any proceedings where the rule would apply.
Furthermore, the Court held that even if standing were established, the Committees' decision to update the rule was reasonable and within their statutory authority.
