Decision
[1] Ms. Deadre Diedrick, a Correctional Officer at the Toronto East Detention Centre, filed a
grievance on November 25, 2012, alleging that the employer breached Articles 3 of the
collective agreement and alleged that management is in violation of the HPRO policy by
not allowing her to work overtime. She further asserts that this conduct amounts to
discrimination and caused her undue hardship. She seeks full redress. The employer
submitted that there was no violation of the collective agreement or the Code.
[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] There was no evidence or argument made on the human rights allegations. Having
carefully considered the submissions of the parties on the allegations of the breach of the
grievor’s human rights, as well as the jurisprudence of the Board, I hereby deny the
grievance.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 16th day of July 2014.
Deborah J.D. Leighton, Vice-Chair
