CIRB – CONTINUATION OF HEARINGS

The complaint of the deposed General Chairpersons and Vice-General Chairpersons (ref. as - R. Hackl et al) will resume on June 12th and 13th in Toronto.

The UTU International is expected to call its second and final witness, the UTU General Counsel from Cleveland, Mr. Clint Miller (secord was the first witness and only other witness).

The following week, commencing on June 18th (for three days), the parities are expected to give their final summations. Subsequent to the final summations the matter will be in the hands of the CIRB for determination.

My personal case against CN Rail was to resume in front of the CIRB on June 16th. However, due to unfortunate circumstances, Mr. Shell (for the UTU) has requested a postponement. Given Mr. Shell’s circumstances I have advised my Legal Counsel to agree to Mr. Shell's request.

My prayers and sympathies are extended to Mr. Shell and his family.
