I95-024P
This investigation was initiated as a result of a complaint concerning a regional centre of the Ministry of Community and Social Services (the Ministry).
The complainant was the successful candidate in a job competition at the centre. Four of the unsuccessful candidates filed a grievance through the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) stating that management should have granted them an interview. OPSEU requested that management disclose the records that it had relied on in making the decision to grant interviews to some individuals and not to others.
The Ministry's human resource representative agreed, at a formal stage II grievance hearing, to provide OPSEU with the requested records. The records disclosed included the complainant's résumé and covering letter.
The complainant felt that the Ministry's disclosure contravened the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act).
