Briggs Vice-Chair FOR THE UNION Nick Mustari and Tim Mulhall Ontario Public Service Employees Union Grievance Officers FOR THE EMPLOYER Victoria Fichtenbaum and Brian Scott Ministry of Government Services Centre for Employee Relations Employee Relations Advisors HEARING September 27, 2013 - 2 - Decision [1] In April of 2011, the parties signed a renewal Memorandum of Agreement for the Med/Arb process within this Ministry. In that agreement it was decided that overtime grievances should be dealt with on a regular basis at every institution. It was the stated expectation that the parties would “move forward together in a timely manner to resolve as many outstanding overtime grievances” as possible at each institution. Monthly meetings were to be scheduled for this purpose. It was hoped that these monthly overtime grievance sessions would resolve most grievances. [2] It was also agreed in the Memorandum that med-arb sessions would be held to deal only with overtime grievances. The parties would meet to attempt resolution of the outstanding grievances and the remaining disputes would be put before this Board. [3] In May of 2012 the first decision from this process was issued. As agreed by the parties, that decision was without prejudice and without reasons. There has been no alteration to that process. [4] In accordance with the parties’ agreement, on September 27th 2013, a med-arb session was held to deal with a number of outstanding overtime grievances. Both parties presented facts, supporting documents and submissions regarding the disputes.
