HEARING March 20, 2014

Decision
[1] Ms. Wendy Goring, a Correctional Officer at the Metro West Detention Centre, filed a
grievance on February 23, 2011, alleging that the employer breached Articles 21 of the
collective agreement and that she was unjustly disciplined. She seeks full redress. The
employer submitted that there was no violation of the collective agreement.
[2] The parties referred this grievance to mediation/arbitration in accordance with Article 22.16
of the collective agreement. At the outset of the hearing, the parties agreed that I had the
jurisdiction to deal with this matter. They asked that I issue a decision without precedent or
prejudice, and without written reasons.
[3] Having carefully considered the submissions of the parties, as well as the jurisprudence of
the Board, I find that there is no merit to the grievance and hereby deny it.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 31st day of March 2014.
Deborah J.D. Leighton, Vice-Chair
