Decision
[1] Ms. Gloria Tibbs, a CO at the Fort Frances Jail, grieved on July 20, 2009, that
the employer breached the collective agreement by denying a request for a
transfer of a client. The employer submitted it had not violated the collective
agreement and moreover the grievance was not referred to arbitration in a
timely manner.
[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 21st day of June 2013.
Deborah J.D. Leighton, Vice-Chair
