Decision
[1] Mr. Craig Fata, a Corrections Officer, on a fixed term contract, at the Brockville Jail,
filed a grievance claiming, inter alia, that the employer had violated Article 2 and
Article 49.1 of the collective agreement, and employer’s policy governing the
application, processing and granting of special and compassionate days. The
employer takes the position that there has been no breach of the collective
agreement.
[2] The parties referred this grievances 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 these matters and asked that I issue a
decision without precedent or prejudice, and without written reasons.
[3] Having carefully considered the submissions of the parties, as well as the
jurisprudence of the Board, I hereby deny the grievance.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 10th day of May 2017.
Deborah J.D. Leighton, Vice-Chair
