Decision
[1] The Employer and the Union at the Maplehurst Correctional Complex agreed to
participate in the Expedited Mediation-Arbitration process in accordance with the
negotiated Protocol. Many 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] John Collins was a plumber working for Maplehurst. In early 2005 he and 3 others filed
a grievance stating that “inmates were used to do unionized work over Xmas vacation
time.” The work that they were referring to was work done by housekeeping staff.
[3] After reviewing the facts and submissions made in this regard, I must dismiss the
grievance.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 20th day of March 2014.
Felicity D. Briggs, Vice-Chair
