Decision
[1] The Employer and the Union agreed to participate in the Expedited Mediation
Arbitration process in accordance with the negotiated protocol. The majority of the
grievances are normally settled pursuant to that process. However, if a grievance
remains unresolved the protocol provides that the Vice Chair of the Board, based on the
evidence provided during the mediation session, will immediately decide the grievance.
The decision will be without reasons, without precedent and prejudice and will be issued
within fifteen working days of the mediation unless the parties agree otherwise.
[2] On February 9, 2015 the parties at Hamilton Wentworth Detention Centre agreed to
participate in the Expedited Mediation-Arbitration process in accordance with the
negotiated protocol.
[3] The grievor filed a grievance dated March 22, 2012 claiming that he had been
unfairly treated and harassed due to his position in the local union, with regard to log
entries he had made pertaining to Diester rounds.
[4] After having carefully considered the submissions of the parties I hereby deny this
grievance.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 17th day of February 2015.
Janice Johnston, Vice-Chair
