Decision
[1] This is a grievance alleging the grievor was, among other things, improperly denied
compensation for the use of his personal cell phone for work activities. The
grievance indicates the employer exercised its management’s rights unfairly.
[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
applies and the parties agree that I have jurisdiction to deal with this matter. There
was little, if any, dispute about the facts and it was accordingly not necessary for
me to hear oral evidence. The parties made submissions about whether the facts
justified the relief claimed.
[3] In accordance with the policy of the parties for expedited hearings under Article
22.16 no written 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 1st day of August, 2018.

Brian McLean, Arbitrator
