We'd like to provide an update on the PSTAR grievances, FPSLREB File Nos. 566.34.9832 & 9833 (Myles & Alcock). The Institute and the CRA had a pre-hearing conference on January 23 to resolve a number of procedural issues designed to streamline the hearing itself. The major issue is that the CRA asserted that the case itself should be split in half so that they could raise a technical objection to the Board's jurisdiction. Essentially, the CRA wanted to prevent a hearing on the merits (i.e. whether our members were entitled to severance).
