DECISION
[1] The Employer and the Union agreed to participate in the Expedited Mediation-
Arbitration process in accordance with the negotiated protocol. The majority of
the grievances are normally settled pursuant to that process. However, if a
grievance remains unresolved the protocol provides that an Arbitrator of the
Board, based on the evidence provided during the mediation session, will
immediately decide the grievance. The decision will be without reasons, without
precedent and prejudice and will be issued within fifteen working days of the
mediation unless the parties agree otherwise.
[2] On November 19 and 20, 2018 the parties at the Toronto South Detention Centre
agreed to participate in the Expedited Mediation-Arbitration process in
accordance with the negotiated protocol.
[3] The grievance relates to unsuccessful applications for a position outside of the
bargaining unit.
[4] What ever the merits of the grievance, it is not with respect to a position covered
by the collective agreement. Accordingly, I am without jurisdiction to address it.
[5] The grievance is denied.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 21st day of November, 2018.
“Ian Anderson”
