HEARING December 6, 2021
-2-
DECISION
[1] The Employer and the Union agreed to participate in the expedited Mediation-
Arbitration process in accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement found in
Appendix 2 to the collective agreement. The majority of the grievances dealt with
in this process are normally settled. However, if where a mediated agreement is
not attainable and the grievance remains unresolved, the Memorandum of
Agreement provides that the GSB Arbitrator shall issue a decision. The decision
issued by the Arbitrator shall be applicable only to the case heard and shall not be
used as a precedent for future cases and is not appealable. Any decision
rendered must be issued within two weeks of the date of the hearing.
[2] On December 6th, 2021 the parties at the Durham Retail Service Centre agreed to
participate in the expedited Mediation-Arbitration process in accordance with the
Memorandum of Agreement found in Appendix 2 to the collective agreement. The
grievance that is the subject of this decision was one of the grievances that the
parties agreed to deal with.
[3] The Grievor in this case is claiming that the Employer is has violated the Collective
Agreement in that he was threatened, bullied and treated unfairly by management
on May 18, 2021. He is seeking to be paid for two days of sick time. After
carefully considering the evidence and submissions of the parties I have
concluded that there has been no violation of the collective agreement or any
applicable legislation.
[4] The grievance is dismissed.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 9th day of December, 2021.
