Decision
In the fall of 1999, the grievors filed grievances alleging that it was unreasonable that they be
pepper sprayed in order to pass the community escort training program. 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
and they asked that I issue a decision without written reasons.
Having carefully considered the submissions of th e parties, as well as the jurisprudence of the
Board, I hereby dismiss these grievances.
