Decision
[1] John Atkinson, a casual CSR with the LCBO, filed two grievances on July 27,
2020, complaining essentially that the employer failed to compensate him properly
under the Memorandum of Agreement, dated May 25, 2020, when he was
required to self isolate, though he did not test positive for COVID.
[2] The employer submitted that there has been no breach of the collective
agreement, or the Memorandum and urged me to dismiss the grievances.
[3] The parties agreed that I had the jurisdiction to deal with this matter in accordance
with the Memorandum of Agreement, on the mediation/arbitration process found in
Appendix 2 to the collective agreement. They asked that I issue a decision without
precedential value, and without written reasons.
[4] Having carefully considered the submissions of the parties on the grievances, I
find that there has been no breach of the collective agreement or the May 25th
Memorandum of Agreement, and consequently must dismiss the grievances.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 12th day of October, 2022.
“Deborah J. D. Leighton”
D.J.D. Leighton, Arbitrator
