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 June 24, 2024 the parties at the Western Region Retail Division 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 filed a grievance claiming that the Employer violated her rights
pursuant to Bill 168, Article 1.1 (c) and Article 33.1 of the collective agreement. After
carefully reviewing all of the facts and the submissions of the parties I have determined
that it is appropriate to direct the Employer to pay to the Grievor the sum of $600.00 minus
the applicable statutory deductions.
[4] The grievance is therefore upheld in part.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 26th day of June 2024.
