The Weyl group of U(N) is the symmetric group S(N), so the Schubert decomposition W_G/W_P indexes the Grassmannian by the free quotient S(N) / (S(m) x S(N-m)). Whereas the quotient he discusses is {0,1}^(m(N-m)) / (S(m) wreath S(N-m)), which is not free. Both are in natural correspondence with the Young diagrams inside an m by N-m box. To see this for the free quotient, observe that it indexes all possible orderings of m moves across and N-m moves up.
