Decision
The parties have agreed to an expedited mediation-arbitration process to determine
grievances at the Maplehurst Correctional Comp lex and Vanier Centre for Women. It is not
necessary to reproduce the entire protocol here. Su ffice it to say that the pa rties have agreed to
attempt to resolve matters at mediation; failing wh ich, they have agreed to utilize an expedited
arbitration process. At the h earing, oral evidence is not ca lled, although the Vice-Chair may
request further information or documentation. In addition, if it becomes appa rent to either party,
or to the Vice-Chair, th at the issues involved in a particul ar case are of a complex nature, the
case may be taken out of the expedited process and processed through ?r egular? arbitration.
Although individual grievors often wish to provide oral evidence at arbitration, the process
adopted by the parties provides for a thorough canvassi ng of the facts prior to, and at the hearing,
and leads to a fair and efficient adjudication process. The parties ag reed that I have the
jurisdiction to hear and determine this matter and they requested that I issue a without prejudice
decision, with no reasons.
In this case, the grievance asserts that the employer is in violation of the local hiring
protocol by denying Shelia Duncan, the grievor, an opportunity to work from 1600 to 2000 hours
on October 31, 2005.
Having heard the submissions of the partie s, and pursuant to Article 22.16 of the
collective agreement, this gr ievance is hereby dismissed.
th
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 12 day of June, 2006.
Marilyn A. Nairn, Vice-Chair.
