Decision
The Employer and the Union at the Central East Correctional Centre agreed to
participate in the Expedited Mediation-Arbitration process in accordance with the
negotiated Protocol. Most of the grievances were settled through that process.
However, a few remained unresolved and therefore require a decision from this
Board. The Protocol provides that decisions will be issued within a relatively short
period of time after the actual mediation sessions and will be without reasons.
Further, the decision is to be without prejudice and precedent.
Dan Labeau is a Classified Correctional Officer who filed a grievance in
November of 2006 alleging the Employer violated various provisions of the
Collective Agreement regarding his medical accommodation.
It is not necessary to set out facts in this matter which were not substantively in
dispute. In discussions regarding this issue I spoke with both parties about the
ongoing obligations of the Employer, the grievor and the Union to address and
resolve accommodation matters in a timely fashion.
After hearing the facts and submissions of the parties regarding this grievance I
order that the parties meet within thirty days of the date of this decision to discuss
the grievor?s ongoing accommodation issues. There was no dispute between the
parties regarding the issuing of this order. I remain seized of any implementation
issues arising from this decision.
