Decision
[1] The Employer and the Union at the Central North Correctional Centre agreed to participate
in the Expedited Mediation-Arbitration process in accordance with the negotiated Protocol.
Most of the grievances were settled through that process. However, a few grievances
remained unresolved and therefore require a decision from this Board. The Protocol
provides that decisions will be issued within a relatively short period of time after the
actual mediation sessions and will be without reasons. Further, the decision is to be without
prejudice and precedent.
[2] On February 4, 2013 there was a power outage at CNCC. As a result of that situation some
employees were sent home and their pay was kept whole. Other employees who were not
allowed to leave grieved that “management failed to give fairness and equity to all staff”
and alleged “favouritism to a selected few”.
[3] A group grievance was filed and by way of remedy the grievors wanted two hours of
overtime pay for each non-correctional staff who did not receive the opportunity to go
home on February 4, 2013.
[4] After considering the facts and submissions in this matter I am of the view that the
grievance must be dismissed because there is no violation of the Collective Agreement.
[5] Grievance denied.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 11th day of December 2013.
Felicity D. Briggs, Vice-Chair
