Decision
[1] The Employer and the Union agreed to participate in the expedited Mediation-
Arbitration process in accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement found in
Appendix 2 to the collective agreement. The majority of the grievances dealt with
in this process are normally settled. However, if where a mediated agreement is
not attainable and the grievance remains unresolved, the Memorandum of
Agreement provides that the GSB Arbitrator shall issue a decision. The decision
issued by the Arbitrator shall be applicable only to the case heard and shall not be
used as a precedent for future cases and is not appealable. Any decision rendered
must be issued within two weeks of the date of the hearing.
[2] On July 24, 2023 the parties agreed to participate in the expedited Mediation-
Arbitration process in accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement found in
Appendix 2 to the collective agreement. The grievance that is the subject of this
decision was one of the grievances that the parties agreed to deal with.
[3] The Grievor in this case is claiming that the Employer has not assigned her the
correct seniority date. After carefully considering the evidence and submissions of
the parties I have determined that it is appropriate to amend the Grievor’s
appointment date to September 21, 2022.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 1st day of August 2023.

Janice Johnston, Arbitrator
