DECISION
[1] This matter is a grievance alleging the grievor was improperly laid-off/terminated
from the position of Maintenance Mechanic. The grievance indicates that the
grievor was “not recalled as per 32.5.1.2 and any other specific article that applies.”
[2] The parties referred this grievance to mediation/arbitration in accordance with
Article 22.16 of the collective agreement. This is a matter to which article 22.16.2
applies. At the outset of the hearing the parties agreed that I had the jurisdiction
to deal with this matter. The facts of the matter were not in dispute and there was
no need for me to hear oral evidence. The parties made submissions as to the
meaning of the applicable collective agreement language.
[3] In accord with the policy of the parties for expedited hearings under Article 22.16
no reasons are being provided and this decision is without precedent or
prejudice.
[4] Having carefully considered the submissions of the parties, I hereby deny this
grievance.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 4th day of April, 2018.
“Diane Gee”
