Decision
The Employer and the Union at the Central East Correctional Centre agreed to
participate in the Expedited Mediation-Arbitration process in accordance with the
negotiated Protocol. Most of the grievances were settled through that process.
However, a few remained unresolved and therefore require a decision from this
Board. The Protocol provides that decisions will be issued within a relatively short
period of time after the actual mediation sessions and will be without reasons.
Further, the decision is to be without prejudice and precedent.
Mr. Sean Dunn is a Correctional Officer who grieved that his merit increase was
not instituted as provided in the Collective Agreement. By way of remedy he asked
that his merit pay be re-adjusted retroactively.
There was no dispute between the parties that Mr. Dunn?s merit increase was paid
in accordance with the long-standing practice of the Employer. Accordingly, his
grievance is dismissed.
