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 15 & 16, 2017 the parties at Maplehurst Corrections Complex
agreed to participate in the Expedited Mediation-Arbitration process in
accordance with the negotiated protocol.
[3] The grievor filed a grievance dated July 11, 2014 claiming that the employer
violated confidentiality by making personal information available for his
coworkers to see in files within the shared IT resource.
[4] After having carefully considered the submissions of the parties I hereby direct
the employer to pay to the grievor as damages $250 within sixty days of the date
of this decision.
[5] The grievance is therefore dismissed.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 23rd day of February 2017.
Janice Johnston, Vice-Chair
