Does the 25-day period provided in the collective agreement to present a grievance need to be extended?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Cloutier v. Treasury Board (Department of Citizenship and Immigration), 2008 PSLRB 31 (CanLII):
13 The 25 days provided for in the collective agreement to present a grievance is a negotiated time limit that has been adopted in the case law as a reasonable time for seeking advice and deciding whether or not to file a grievance (see Wyborn v. Parks Canada Agency, 2001 PSSRB 113). Although paragraph 61(b) of the Regulations allows that time limit to be extended, such applications are allowed sparingly so as not to destabilize the labour relations scheme created by the Act and the agreement between the parties.
