DECISION
[1]The Employer and the Union at the Ontario Correctional Institute 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.
[2]Mr. John Kari, Correctional Officer, filed a grievance regarding the
Employer requesting a certificate verifying an illness. At the conclusion of a
shift worked, without incident or complaint, he was asked to work overtime
due to an unforeseen emergency situation. He refused and went home. That
refusal caused the Employer to request the medical certificate.
[3]After consideration of the facts and submissions in this matter, the grievance
is denied.
