HEARING September 17 2001
DECISION
1 The Parties, at the beginning of the heanng requested that I stand down so that
they could discuss this matter The parties entered Into a memorandum of
settlement which clothed me with Junsdlctlon to deal with all gnevances relating
to the "net payment, after deductions Issues" which emanates from the year 2000
negotiations
2 On the basIs of the memorandum of settlement dated September 17, 2001, I find
that I have Junsdlctlon to deal with all matters anslng out of the "net payment,
after deductions Issues" raised In the year 2000 negotiations
3 The LCBO raised a timeliness argument. The LCBO asserts that the collective
agreement creates a time limit of ten days from when an employee first becomes
aware of the circumstances giving nse to the complaint or difference and
therefore, asserts the LCBO, the gnevances are untimely
4 Having reviewed the eVidence and the submissions tendered by the parties and
In particular the eVidence relating to the Spnng 2001 Issue of the Echo, I find that
all gnevances filed on or before June 30, 2001 are timely and will proceed before
me In respect of all gnevances, relating to thiS Issue, which have been filed after
June 30, 2001, those gnevances are untimely and are therefore dismissed
5 The GSB IS directed to consult with the parties In setting dates In thiS matter
6 I am seized of any matters relating to the gnevances referred herein
Dated at Toronto, thiS 19th Day of September 2001
