Decision
[1] These are two of an impressively large number of grievances which have been
referred to me, all of which fall under the general rubric of escort duty.
[2] In the interest of expedition the parties agreed that these two grievances be dealt
with through a process of mediation-arbitration as contemplated under the collective
agreement.
[3] In accordance with that process the parties acknowledged that the present
decision, while obviously binding in respect of the instant two grievances, is otherwise
without any precedential value and is without prejudice to any positions the parties may
choose to adopt or arguments they may choose to advance in any other proceeding, including
the other grievances that are before me relating to matters of escort duty.
[4] In the further interest of expedition, the parties agreed that this decision should
issue without reasons.
[5] Having regard to the submissions of the parties, I hereby direct the employer to:
(a) Pay to the grievor Pilon the equivalent of 12 hours pay at the applicable rate(s) in
place at the time his grievance was filed ((i.e. August 23, 2003);
and
(b) Pay to the grievor Pierre the equivalent of 24 hours pay at the applicable rate(s) in
place at the time his grievance was filed (i.e. August 3, 2004)
[6] I will remain seized should the parties encounter any difficulties in implementing
the terms of this award.
Dated at Toronto this 21st day of February 2013.
Bram Herlich, Vice-Chair
