HEARING

May 18, 2012.

Decision

1Mr. S. Culos has filed two grievances. In one of them he claims that “the Employer has failed to accommodate me due to my disability…” The Employer has requested that the Union produce certain medical records relating to Mr. Culos. There is no dispute that the medical records are arguably relevant to the issues in dispute in this matter. Accordingly, I hereby direct the Union to provide forthwith to Employer counsel a copy of Mr. Culos’s psychiatric records and his family physician’s medical records as they pertain to Mr. Culos’s psychiatric condition. The Employer shall not make copies of the medical records and Employer counsel may share the records with one Employee Relation Officer or one instructing client or their respective successors.

Dated at Toronto this 22^nd day of May 2012.
