Motion to consolidate four grievances granted; suspension grievance ordered to precede dismissal grievance.
The union requested to consolidate a discharge grievance with an ongoing harassment grievance before the same Vice-Chair.
The employer agreed on the condition that a previous discipline grievance also be consolidated and heard first.
The union objected, arguing that joining the grievances would unduly delay the discharge hearing.
The Grievance Settlement Board ordered that all four grievances be consolidated, finding that the suspension grievance must precede the dismissal grievance to properly determine the state of the grievor's disciplinary record, and adjourned the harassment grievance until the completion of those proceedings.
