Decision
[1] The Employer and the Union agreed to participate in the Expedited Mediation-
Arbitration process in accordance with the negotiated protocol. The majority of the
grievances are normally settled pursuant to that process. However, if a grievance
remains unresolved the protocol provides that an Arbitrator of the Board, based on
the evidence provided during the mediation session, will immediately decide the
grievance. The decision will be without reasons, without precedent and prejudice
and will be issued within fifteen working days of the mediation unless the parties
agree otherwise.
[2] The grievance alleges inequitable distribution of hours among Fixed Term Cooks
at the North Bay Jail.
[3] Having considered the representations of the parties, I find no breach of the
collective agreement. Accordingly, the grievance is dismissed.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 28th day of April 2023.

Ian Anderson, Arbitrator
