It is not necessary to reproduce the entire Protocol here Suffice it to say that the parties have agreed to an expedited process wherem each party provides the vice-chair with wntten submiSSiOns, which mclude the facts and authonties the party mtends to rely upon, one week pnor to the heanng. At the heanng, oral eVidence is not called, although the vice-chair is permitted to request further mformatiOn or documentatiOn. In additiOn, if it becomes apparent to either party or the vice-chair that the issues mvolved m a particular case are of a complex or sigmficant nature, the case may be taken out of the expedited process and processed through "regular" arbitratiOn. Although mdividual gnevors often wish to provide oral eVidence at arbitratiOn, the process adopted by the parties provides for a thorough canvassmg of the facts pnor to the heanng, and leads to a fair and effiCient adJudicatiOn process The gnevance raises matters related to allegatiOns that the employer failed to follow the overtime protocol The umon stated at the heanng that it had made attempts to contact the gnevor by mail and through the local's reView of itS records, m order to submit further particulars and mformatiOn, but no such mformatiOn was forthcommg. 3 Havmg reviewed the eVidence presented and the submissiOns of the parties, it is my View that there is no eVidence of a breach of the collective agreement. As a result, the gnevance is dismissed. Dated at Toronto this 29th day of August, 2005
