Decision
[1]Mr. Christopher Croisier, a correctional officer at the Toronto Jail, filed four grievances
in June, July and August 2009, alleging that the employer violated the health and safety
articles of the collective agreement. 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.
