Decision
[1] The Employer and the Union at the Niagara Detention Centre agreed to
participate in the Expedited Mediation-Arbitration process in accordance
with the negotiated Protocol. Some of the grievances were settled through
that process. However, a few grievances remained unresolved and therefore
require a decision from this Board. The Protocol provides that decisions will
be issued within a relatively short period of time after the actual mediation
sessions and will be without reasons. Further, the decision is to be without
prejudice and precedent.
[2] Mr. Robert Coffin is a Correctional Officer who filed a grievance alleging
that the Employer violated the collective agreement and the overtime
protocol for failing to allow him to work overtime on a particular shift in
August of 2010.
[3] After considering the documents and submissions of the parties, I am of the
view that this grievance should be upheld.
Dated at Toronto this 22nd day of March 2013.
Felicity D. Briggs, Vice Chair
