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 December 7, 2015 the parties at Toronto South Detention Centre agreed to
participate in the Expedited Mediation-Arbitration process in accordance with the
negotiated protocol.
[3] The grievor filed a grievance dated May 7, 2014 claiming that the Employer violated
the collective agreement in that she was denied her request for special and
compassionate leave. She requested the leave to enable her to engage in last minute
wedding preparations.
[4] After having carefully considered the submissions of the parties I hereby deny this
grievance as there has been no violation of the collective agreement.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 11th day of December 2015.
Janice Johnston, Vice Chair
