Decision
[1]The Employer and the Union agreed to participate in the Expedited Mediation-
Arbitration process in accordance with the negotiated Protocol for various grievances
filed by Bailiffs. A number of 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.
[2]Mr. Gary Lehman is a Correctional Officer and he grieved that the collective agreement
was breached by the Employer regarding a temporary assignment. The Employer
contested the allegations.
[3]After hearing the facts and submissions of the parties in this matter I am of the view that
the grievance must fail.
