Decision
INTRODUCTION
The parties have agreed to a Med-Arb Protocol, signed February 27, 2006. It is not necessary to
reproduce the entire Protocol here. Suffice it to say that, as part of the Protocol, 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 under the Protocol.
Arbitration decisions are issued in accordance with Article 22.16 of the collective agreement,
without reasons, and are without prejudice or precedent. The parties were unable to resolve this
matter in mediation.
Accordingly, the matter has been referred to me as a True
Mediation/Arbitration decision under the Protocol.
FACTS
The grievor alleges that he was denied an overtime opportunity on April 13, 2004. The employer
responds that there was another grievance filed with respect to this shift, and that the other
employee has already been compensated. The union takes the position that the grievor should
receive payment, as he had greater entitlement to the overtime in question.

DECISION
The grievance is upheld. The grievor is to be compensated for the shift in question. I will
remain seized to deal with any issues arising from the implementation of this award.
Dated at Toronto, this 1st day of February, 2007.
