The Employer shall consult at a meeting with the Employee and the Union to discuss and to consider the available evidence regarding the existence and nature of the restrictions/capabilities, and, if necessary, options with respect to the accommodation of the employee. Notwithstanding the above, the Employer agrees to provide the Union with copies of the workplace accommodation arrangements made for the CUPE 2424 member.
