In the Matter of an Arbitration
Between

And
Ontario Public Service Employees’ Union – Local 444
Regarding: Grievance of Dawna Greer
Sole Arbitrator: Felicity D. Briggs
For the Hospital: Peter Hass
For the Union: Peggy Smith
Bev Weaver
Ms. Dawna Greer filed a grievance (OPSEU File #2012-0444-0022)
alleging violations of various provisions of the Collective Agreement.
During a med/arb session recently held to discuss this matter, the
parties agreed to the following:
1. The Clinical Laboratories will adopt the operational concept that
should a full-time employee receive the benefit of a training
opportunity in another lab that employee can continue to receive
shifts in the other lab in order to maintain competency.
2. The understood corollary to the above is that a part-time
employee, who is trained in two or more labs, then accepts a full-
time role in one of the labs, they will not maintain shifts in the
other discipline.
3. As a consequence of the foregoing, and specific to this grievance,
the grievor will then be scheduled for any part-time shifts that
become available in Cytology, provided no other scheduling
conflicts arise.
4. It is agreed that there is no admission of liability or process error
or fault on the part of the Hospital in regards to this matter and, in
fact, any admission of such is expressly denied.
5. The grievor agrees that she has been properly represented by the
Union throughout this process.
6. The grievor is to be paid three days pay at her current rate of pay
forthwith.
7. Based on the foregoing, the grievance indicated above is resolved
in full.
8. This agreement is without precedent or prejudice and cannot be
relied on by either party in any other venue for any other matter
whatsoever.
I remain seized of this matter.
Dated in Toronto this 22nd
day of June, 2013.
