Decision
INTRODUCTION
The parties have agreed to a Med-Arb Protocol, signed February 27, 2006. It is not necessary to
reproduce the entire Protocol here. Suffice it to say that, as part of the Protocol, 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 under the Protocol.
Arbitration decisions are issued in accordance with Article 22.16 of the collective agreement,
without reasons, and are without prejudice or precedent. The parties were unable to resolve this
matter in mediation.
Accordingly, the matter has been referred to me as a True
Mediation/Arbitration decision under the Protocol.
FACTS
The grievor claims he was improperly denied an overtime opportunity on May 4, 2005 for the
1500 to 2300 shift. The employer's records indicate that no overtime was worked during the
time in question, that the only full 'overtime' shifts that day were attributed to members of the
Health and Safety Committee, who were attending a meeting, and that the only other overtime
involved shift extensions not covering the hours claimed by the grievor.
