DeCISIon
The partIes agreed to an ExpedIted MedIatIOn-ArbItratIOn Protocol for the Maplehurst
CorrectIOnal Complex. It IS not necessary to reproduce the entIre Protocol here Suffice It to say
that the partIes have agreed to an expedIted process whereIn each party provIdes the vIce-chair
wIth wntten submIssIOns, whIch Include the facts and authontIes the party Intends to rely upon,
one week pnor to the heanng. At the heanng, oral eVIdence IS not to be called, although the VIce-
chair IS permItted to request further InformatIOn or documentatIOn. In addItIOn, If It becomes
apparent to the vIce-chair that the Issues Involved In a partIcular case are of a complex or
sIgmficant nature, the case may be taken out of the expedIted process and processed through
"regular" arbItratIOn. Although IndIVIdual gnevors often wIsh to provIde oral eVIdence at
arbItratIOn, the process adopted by the partIes provIdes for a thorough canvaSSIng of the facts
pnor to the heanng, and leads to a fair and efficIent adJudIcatIOn process
The gnevance alleges that the gnevor was Improperly demed specIal and compassIOnate leave,
and that the employer faIled to properly accommodate her
The umon stated at the heanng that It had made attempts to contact the gnevor by mall and
through the local's reVIew of ItS records, In order to submIt further partIculars and InformatIOn,
but no such InformatIOn was forthcomIng. The umon also advIsed the Board that the gnevor IS
not currently employed by the Mimstry

HavIng revIewed the submIssIons of the partIes, It IS my VIew that there IS no eVIdence of a
breach of the collectIVe agreement. As a result, the gnevance IS dIsmIssed.
