HEARING October 3, 2018
-2-
DECISION
[1] The Employer and the Union agreed to participate in the expedited Mediation-
Arbitration process in accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement found in
Appendix 2 to the collective agreement. The majority of the grievances dealt with in this
process are normally settled. However, if where a mediated agreement is not attainable
and the grievance remains unresolved, the Memorandum of Agreement provides that
the GSB Arbitrator shall issue a decision. The decision issued by the Arbitrator shall be
applicable only to the case heard and shall not be used as a precedent for future cases
and is not appealable. Any decision rendered must be issued within two weeks of the
date of the hearing.
[2] On October 3, 2018 the parties at the Durham Retail Service Centre agreed to
participate in the expedited Mediation-Arbitration process in accordance with the
Memorandum of Agreement found in Appendix 2 to the collective agreement. The
grievance that is the subject of this decision was one of the grievances that the parties
agreed to deal with.
[3] The Grievor in this case is claiming that he was not canvassed for overtime when he
should have been. He is claiming that management has violated the Memorandum of
Agreement - Overtime Equalization for Logistics Facilities. After carefully considering
the evidence and submissions of the parties I have concluded that the employer did not
violate the collective agreement.
[5] The grievance is therefore dismissed.
[6] In the event that the parties have any difficulties with the interpretation or
implementation of this award I shall remain seized.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 11th day of October, 2018.
“Janice Johnston”
