Decision
[1] The parties have agreed to an Expedited Mediation-Arbitration Protocol. It is not
necessary to reproduce the entire Protocol here. Suffice it to say that the parties have agreed to a
“True Mediation-Arbitration” process, wherein each provides the Vice-Chair with submissions,
which include the facts and authorities each relies upon. This decision is issued in accordance
with the Protocol and with Article 22.16 of the collective agreement, and is without prejudice or
precedent.
[2] The grievance in this case relate to an alleged failure of the employer to allow the grievor
three days’ compassionate leave.
[3] After reviewing the submissions of the parties and the collective agreement, it is my
determination that the grievance should be dismissed.
[4] I remain seized as required.
Dated at Toronto this 13th day of November 2012.
Brian M. Keller, Vice-Chair
