Decision
The parties referred this grievance to mediation/arbitration in accordance with Article 22.16 of
the Collective Agreement. The grievance was filed in 2003 and involves a job competition for a
Temporary Acting Operations Management position, and the subsequent cancellation of the
assignment. The Grievor is seeking re-appointment to the position.
At the outset of the hearing, the parties agreed that I exercise my jurisdiction to decide this
matter, and requested that I issue a decision, without reasons.
Having carefully reviewed the evidence presented and the submissions of the parties, I find as
follows:
At the time of the grievance the grievor was in a management position. A management position
is outside the bargaining unit. The jurisdiction of the Board does not extend to employees in
management positions. Consequently, the Board does not have the requisite jurisdiction to deal
with this grievance which is accordingly dismissed.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario, this 17th day of July 2006.
M. Brian Keller, Vice-Chair
