Brian Keller Stephen Giles Grievance Officer Ontario Public Service Employees Union Timothy Bingham Staff Relations Officer Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services October 5, 2006. Union Employer Vice-Chair 2 Decision The parties have agreed to use the Expedited Mediation-Arbitration Protocol. It is not necessary to reproduce the entire Protocol here. Suffice it to say that the parties have agreed to a "True Mediation Arbitration" process, wherein each provides the Vice-Chair with submissions, which include the facts and authorities each relies upon. The process adopted by the parties provides for a canvassing of the facts during the mediation phase, although the Vice-Chair has discretion to request further information or documentation. Arbitration decisions are issued in accordance with Article 22.16 of the Collective Agreement, without reasons, and are without precedent or prejudice. These grievances relate to a claim of harassment at the Quinte Detention Centre. After reviewing the submissions of the parties and the Collective Agreement, it is my conclusion that these grievances should be dismissed. Dated at Toronto this 23rd day of October 2006
