It is not necessary to reproduce the entire Protocol. Suffice to say, that the parties have agreed to a True Mediation/Arbitration process wherein each party provides the Arbitrator with their submissions setting out the facts and the authorities they respectively will rely upon. This decision is issued in accordance with Appendix 2 – Memorandum of Agreement of the collective agreement; and it is without prejudice or precedent. [2] James Petrovicz (the “grievor”) is employed at the Durham Retail Service Centre as a Warehouse Worker 4. [3] This grievance relates to a claim that on September 6, 2016, the grievor was bypassed with respect to an overtime opportunity. The grievor on that day worked the afternoon shift commencing at 4 PM. The overtime opportunity in dispute is related to four hours of work prior to his shift commencing at noon on that day. [4] Contrary to the assertion of the grievor, the relevant records of the Employer establish that a telephone call was placed to the grievor at 10:44 AM with respect to that particular overtime opportunity. The duration of the call was for 10 seconds with no response being recorded. [5] In light of that phone call being placed, it is my determination that there was no violation of the collective agreement as the grievor was canvassed with respect to this particular overtime opportunity. -3- [6] Accordingly, the grievance is, hereby, dismissed. Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 25th day of April, 2018. “Brian Sheehan” Brian Sheehan, Arbitrator
