Decision
The parties have agreed to use the Expedited Mediation-Arbitration Protocol to resolve
grievances at the Maplehurst Correctional Complex. It is not necessary to reproduce the entire
Protocol here. It is sufficient to state that the parties have agreed that this matter is to be decided
as a "True Mediation-Arbitration". The Vice-Chair, based on the evidence provided during the
mediation session, is required to immediately resolve a grievance following a failed mediation.
The Vice-Chair' s decision will be without reasons, without precedent and prejudice and issued
within 15 days.
The grievance asserts that the grievor was denied the opportunity to participate in the selection
process for the I.C.I.T. program. The grievor was selected for an interview. All those selected
were interviewed by the same panel, on the same day. The interview date was originally selected
to accommodate the grievor's travel plans. The grievor subsequently advised the employer that
he had provided them with the incorrect date for his departure and he was not available to be
interviewed on the date selected. Management did not change the date of the interview and the
grievor seeks full redress including financial compensation.
Having heard the submissions of the parties, I am not persuaded that there has been any violation
of the collective agreement. The grievance is dismissed.
