Decision
The parties have agreed to an 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 a claim for compassionate leave.
After reviewing the submissions of the parties and the collective agreement, it is my conclusion
that the grievance should be dismissed
