Briggs Vice-Chair FOR THE UNION Jackie Crawford Ontario Public Service Employees Union Grievance Officer FOR THE EMPLOYER Buky Adeoye Ministry of Government Services Centre For Employee Relations Employee Relations Advisor HEARING November 27, 2013 - 2 - Decision [1] The Employer and the Union at the Central North Correctional Centre agreed to participate in the Expedited Mediation-Arbitration process in accordance with the negotiated Protocol. Most 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. Darren Wilson is a fixed term Correctional Officer who filed a grievance that the Employer violated the Collective Agreement by failing to grant him compassionate leave. He alleged that he was discriminated against because he was a fixed term employee. [3] After hearing all of the facts and submissions in this matter, I am of the view that there has been no violation of the Collective Agreement. I specifically did not find that the grievor had been discriminated against. Therefore the grievance is denied. Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 6th day of December 2013. Felicity D. Briggs, Vice-Chair
