Decision
[1]Mr. Steven Durant, a correctional officer at the Brockville Jail, filed a
grievance on February 20, 2009, alleging that the employer breached the
collective agreement with regard to health and safety. 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 this grievance.
