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 April 24 and 25, 2019 the parties at the Thunder Bay Correctional Centre
agreed to participate in the Expedited Mediation-Arbitration process in
accordance with the negotiated protocol.
[3] The grievance relates to a claim for statutory holiday pay.
[4] Having considered the representations of the parties, I find no breach of the
collective agreement.
[5] The grievance is denied.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 30th day of April, 2019.
“Ian Anderson”
