Decision
[1]Mr. Brian Adams, a correctional officer at the Toronto Jail, filed two grievances on June
19, 2009, alleging that the employer wrongly disciplined him when he was removed from
his assignment as a driver, after he was charged by the police for running a red light, hitting
another vehicle and a pole. The employer denied that it had violated the collective
agreement.
[2]The parties referred these grievances 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 these matters. They asked that I issue a decision without
precedent or prejudice, and without written reasons in accord with the policy of the parties
for expedited hearings under Article 22.16.
[3]Having carefully considered the submissions of the parties, as well as the jurisprudence of
the Board, I hereby deny these grievances.

Dated at Toronto this 18 day of December 2009.
