Decision
[1] Mr. Conrad Gareau, a CO at the Toronto East Detention Centre, grieved on November
25, 2011 that the employer breached the collective agreement by denying his request to
change a leave without pay to a vacation day. The employer submitted it had not violated
the collective agreement.
[2] The parties referred this grievance to mediation/arbitration in accordance with Article
22.16 of the collective agreement. At the outset of the hearing the parties agreed that I
had the jurisdiction to deal with this matter. They asked that I issue a decision without
precedent or prejudice, and without written reasons.
[3] Having carefully considered the submissions of the parties, as well as the jurisprudence
of the Board, I find that there has been no violation of the collective agreement and
hereby deny this grievance.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 19th day of June 2013.
Deborah J.D. Leighton, Vice-Chair
