HEARING September 16, 2021

DECISION
[1] Karen Sullivan, a Correctional Officer 2 at Central East Correctional Centre,
grieved on October 26, 2020, that the employer breached the collective agreement
and any other applicable law, when it denied her application for a temporary
assignment to a pilot project.
[2] The employer submitted that there was no breach of the collective agreement and
the Ministry, accordingly, denied the grievance.
[3] The parties referred this grievance to mediation/arbitration in accordance with
Article 22.16 of the collective agreement. At the outset of the hearing, the parties
agreed that I had the jurisdiction to deal with this matter and asked that I issue a
decision without precedential value, and without written reasons.
[4] Having carefully considered, the submissions of the parties on the grievance, as
well as the jurisprudence of the Board, I hereby dismiss the grievance.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 27th day of September, 2021.
“D.J.D. Leighton”
