Jackie Crawford applicant and Air Canada |
This case was decided by Douglas Malanka, appeals officer.
[1] On April 26, 2003, Ms. Nina Gravenor, Flight Attendant with Air Canada refused to work following an April 23/03 advisory issued by the World Health Organization to avoid Toronto, Ontario, because of Severe Acute Syndrome or SARS. She feared that she could be exposed to SARS as a result of extended work related layovers in Toronto connected with her work.
[2] Health and safety officer Gordon Logan investigated into Ms. Gravenor's refusal to work and following his investigation decided that a danger did not exist for her. He advised Ms. Gravenor of his decision on April 26, 2003. On May 1, 2003, Ms. Jackie Crawford, Counsel for CUPE, (Air Canada Component) appealed the decision of health and safety officer Gordon Logan pursuant to subsection 129.(7) of the Canada Labour Code on behalf of Ms. Gravenor.
[3] On June 5, 2003, Ms. Crawford subsequently withdrew their appeal on behalf of Ms. Gravenor. I therefore confirm the withdrawal and declare the matter to be closed.
