HEARING November 20, 2018

DECISION
[1] The Employer and the Union agreed to participate in the Expedited Mediation-
Arbitration process in accordance with the negotiated protocol. The majority of
the grievances are normally settled pursuant to that process. However, if a
grievance remains unresolved the protocol provides that an Arbitrator of the
Board, based on the evidence provided during the mediation session, will
immediately decide the grievance. The decision will be without reasons, without
precedent and prejudice and will be issued within fifteen working days of the
mediation unless the parties agree otherwise.
[2] On November 19 and 20, 2018 the parties at the Toronto South Detention Centre
agreed to participate in the Expedited Mediation-Arbitration process in
accordance with the negotiated protocol.
[3] The Grievor’s grievance has been scheduled for several med/arb sessions,
including the current one. Despite having been given notice of each, she has not
attended any of those sessions and has failed to provide a reasonable excuse for
her failure to do so.
[4] The Grievor is directed to attend at the next med/arb session at this facility before
this arbitrator. That session is currently scheduled for February 21, 2019. If the
Grievor fails to attend and fails to fully participate in the process on that date (or
any rescheduling of that date), her grievance will be deemed to have been
withdrawn.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 21st day of November, 2018.
