Upon receiving a copy of the transcript, it was apparent that portions of the court’s oral reasons for decision were not recorded. Consequently there are gaps in the transcript. [ 2 ] I have referred to my notes of the oral decision and will supplement the transcript by filling in the portions which were not recorded. [ 3 ] From page 2, the reasons should include: 25. During the arbitration, employer witnesses confirmed that Canadian Blood Services had asked Ms. Reinink if there were any medical concerns that might be causing her ….( missed portion)
“performance issues and that Ms. Reinink denied this was the case. The decision of arbitrator Joliffe was issued June 21, 2018. Arbitrator Joliffe dismissed the grievance in its entirety, finding that all discipline imposed by Canadian Blood Services was appropriate, including Ms. Reinink’s termination for cause.” [ 4 ] From page 4, the reasons should include; 1 3. “The reconsideration panel did not agree that Ms. Reinink had raised new evidence or errors of some significance.
It confirms that the original panel did not ignore relevant legislation, nor were the mental health articles or the May 2019 letter from Dr. Berg “new evidence”. The reconsideration panel concluded that Ms. Reinink had not established a basis upon which the Alberta Labor Relations Board could exercise its reconsideration discretion and was simply attempting to relitigate her complaint.” [ 5 ] These unrecorded portions shall form part of the oral reasons for judgment. Heard on the 11 th day of June, 2021. Dated at the City of Calgary, Alberta this 5 th day of August, 2021. B.A. Millar J.C.Q.B.A.
