Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Fry v. Parks Canada Agency, 2021 FPSLREB 88 (CanLII):
As the employer correctly notes, the grievor is not entitled to alter his grievance to raise the argument of disguised discipline at adjudication. The grievance referred to adjudication must be substantially the same grievance that was presented throughout the grievance process (Burchill v. Attorney General of Canada, [1981] 1 F.C. 109).
