Decision
[1] Mr. William Young, a Correctional Officer at the Brockville Jail and St. Lawrence Valley
Correctional and Treatment Centre, grieved on October 10, 2011, alleging that the employer
disciplined him without just cause on February 16, 2010. He seeks full redress. The employer
submitted that the grievance was filed late, some seven months after the requirement under the
collective agreement and therefore should be dismissed.
[2] The parties referred the 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.
[3] Having carefully considered the submissions of the parties, as well as the jurisprudence of
the Board, I hereby deny the grievance.
Dated at Toronto this 8th day of February 2012.
Deborah J.D. Leighton, Vice-Chair
