Decision
[1] Mr. Don Desjardine, a Correctional Officer at the Brockville Jail and St. Lawrence Valley
Correctional and Treatment Centre, grieved on July 24, 2010 that employer should have
compensated him to attend a medal presentation on November 12, 2009. He seeks full
redress. The employer submitted that there was no violation of the collective agreement.
[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.
[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 9th day of February 2012.
Deborah J.D. Leighton, Vice-Chair
