Grievance dismissed due to grievor's repeated failure to attend hearings or communicate with counsel.
The grievor's employment was terminated, and a grievance was filed.
The grievor failed to attend the first scheduled hearing date and subsequently failed to maintain contact with union counsel or attend the rescheduled hearing date to address the employer's motion to dismiss.
The Grievance Settlement Board granted the employer's motion and dismissed the grievance, finding that the grievor's repeated failure to attend without adequate notice or justification caused substantial delay and prejudice.
Nursing certificate reinstated with conditions five years after revocation for sexual abuse of a client.
The applicant applied for reinstatement of her nursing certificate of registration, which was revoked in 2009 for professional misconduct involving a sexual relationship with a client.
The College of Nurses of Ontario did not oppose the application, and both parties presented a joint submission on order.
Relying on an independent psychiatric evaluation that deemed the applicant a low risk to re-offend, as well as her subsequent rehabilitation and retraining as a Pharmacy Technician, the Discipline Committee granted the reinstatement subject to strict terms, conditions, and limitations, including practice monitoring and restrictions on independent community nursing.
Application for judicial review dismissed; OLRB has jurisdiction to set the date for a strike vote.
The applicant union sought judicial review of an Ontario Labour Relations Board (OLRB) decision which held that the OLRB had jurisdiction under the Colleges Collective Bargaining Act to determine the date of a strike vote.
The union argued that the union had the exclusive right to set the date and that the OLRB's power to supervise the vote did not include setting the date.
The Divisional Court dismissed the application, finding the OLRB's interpretation of its home statute was reasonable and that the plain meaning of the authority to supervise and manage a vote included the right to set the date.
