Brian Keller Scott Andrews Grievance Officer Ontario Public Service Employees Union Brian Scott Staff Relations Officer Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services September 25,2007. Union Employer Vice-Chair 2 Decision The parties have agreed to the Expedited Mediation-Arbitration Protocol. It is not necessary to reproduce the entire Protocol here. Suffice it to say that the parties have agreed to an "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 the effective date of merit increases. After reviewing the submissions of the parties and the collective agreement, it is my conclusion that the grievance should be dismissed. t Toronto, this 1st day of October, 2007. M. Brian Keller, Vice-Chair
