Union Employer Vice-Chair 2 Decision The parties have agreed to an Expedited Mediation-Arbitration Protocol. It is not necessary to reproduce the entire Protocol here. Suffice it to say that the parties have agreed to a "True Mediation-Arbitration" process, wherein each provides the vice-chair with submissions, which include the facts and authorities each relies upon. The process adopted by the parties provides for a canvassing of the facts during the mediation phase, although the vice-chair has the discretion to request further information or documentation. Arbitration decisions are issued in accordance with Article 22.16 of the collective agreement, without reasons, and are without prejudice or precedent. The grievance in this case relates to an allegation by the grievor that she was misled by the employer regarding her retirement rights. After reviewing the submissions of the parties and the collective agreement, it is my conclusion that the grievance is dismissed. Dated at Toronto, this 20th day of November, 2006.
