HEARING
September 9, 2008.
Decision
1This decision addresses two matters. It suspends further investigation of the WDHP complaints made by grievors in these matters, and it stipulates further dates for hearing, with details of what is to occur on those dates.
2Various grievors have filed WDHP complaints under the WDHP procedure. In most cases, if not all, the substance of the WDHP complaint will be addressed within the grievances that are before me. The parties do not wish to have a duplication of proceedings. In the circumstances, on consent, I order that any investigation of WDHP complaints by grievors whose grievances are part of this matter is hereby suspended until resolution of the grievances before me.
3Upon this decision being issued, the Employer should ensure that each investigator affected by the above ruling is notified of the suspension of their investigation.
4The parties will find it useful to know exactly what WDHP complaints have been filed by which grievors. To this end, the Employer is directed to provide to me (electronically) and to the Union details of each WDHP complaint that is arguably covered by the grievances that form part of this matter. As far as possible, the following details should be provided: the name of the complainant, the reference number of the complaint, the date on which the complaint was filed, and whether an investigator has been appointed, and if so, when and whom. This information should be provided within 2 weeks of the date of this decision.
5The parties have agreed to use certain additional hearing times and, on their submissions, I assign the hearing dates as follows:
September 17: 5:30pm: Charlett Thompson
September 18: 5:30pm: Heather Nash
