Decision
[1]Mr. Ian McCorriston, a correctional officer at the Algoma Treatment and Remand Centre
grieved on December 9, 2008, that the employer breached the collective agreement when it
denied his late request for a vacation day. The employer submitted that it had not violated
the collective agreement and that it could not approve the vacation day because of
operational requirements.
[2]The parties referred this grievance 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 this matter. 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.

Dated at Toronto this 23 day of June 2010.
