The Executive Committee met with the Corporation on July 18th, at mediation, to try and resolve the Association’s grievance regarding the Corporations failure to accommodate a member from suppression in another division who had reached age 60.

The Corporation sought agreement from the Association to bring back the member to the suppression division.

The Association steadfastly maintained its position that the member should be brought back in a division other than suppression.

The Corporation has made a unilateral decision to return the individual to the suppression division, contingent on the passing of a physical fitness examination at York University.

The appropriate grievances have been filed and the matter is ongoing.
