Decision
This decision addresses six grievances ofMr. David Bazaluk. The first alleges that the employer
failed to pay call back premium when he was called at home regarding a work matter. The
second alleges that his shift was changed with insufficient notice. Three grievances complain
about changes to Road Crew duties and assignments and assert that management by making
these changes is harassing him. He alleges further that the changes will result in the loss of a
FTE (Full Time Equivalent). The parties agreed to an expedited hearing process under Article
22.16, which took place on August 2,2007.
At the outset of the hearing the parties agreed that I had the jurisdiction to deal with this matter
and they asked that I issue a decision without written reasons in accord with the provisions for
expedited proceedings under Article 22.16.
Having carefully considered the submissions of the parties, and the jurisprudence of the Board, I
find that only the first grievance has merit. Thus, I hereby order the employer to pay the grievor
four (4) hours at straight time (at the rate of pay in March 2006). With regard to Mr. Bazaluk's
other grievances, I am satisfied that the employer has not breached the collective agreement.
Dated at Toronto this 26th day of September, 2007.
