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 the Grievor’s privacy rights were breached.
[3] Having considered the representations of the parties, I find a breach of the
collective agreement and award the Grievor $250.00 in damages.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 22nd day of November 2023.

Ian Anderson, Arbitrator
