Decision
[1]The parties have agreed to an Expedited Mediation-Arbitration Protocol. It is not
necessary to reproduce the entire Protocol here. Suffice it to say that the parties have agreed to
a ?True Mediation-Arbitration? process, wherein each provides the Vice-Chair with
submissions, which include the facts and authorities each relies upon. This decision is issued
in accordance with the Protocol and with Article 22.16 of the collective agreement, and is
without prejudice or precedent.
[2]The grievance in this case relates to a claim for premium pay to work Victoria Day, May
18, 2009. The employer responds that there is no collective agreement requirement with
respect to the distribution of premium holiday work.
[3]After reviewing the submissions of the parties and the collective agreement, it is my
conclusion that the grievance should be dismissed.

Dated at Toronto this 30 day of March 2010.
