Decision
The parties referred the Brice et al grievances filed in 2001 to mediation/arbitration in
accordance with Article 22.16 of the Collective Agreement. The grievances allege:
I grieve that the Ministry of Corrections is discriminating against me
through unfair hiring practices rega rding wage scale progression and
starting salary.
I further grieve that the above concern is being handled inconsistently
within the different institu tions in this ministry.
At the outset of the hearing, the parties agreed that I had the jurisdiction to deal with this matter
and they requested that I issue a without prejudice decision, with no reasons.
Having carefully reviewed the submissions of th e parties as well as the jurisprudence of the
Board, I hereby dismiss the aforementioned grievances.
