Union - and - The Crown in Right of Ontario (Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services) Employer BEFOREVice-Chair Felicity D. Briggs FOR THE UNION Stephen Giles and Scott Andrews Grievance Officers Ontario Public Service Employees Union FOR THE EMPLOYER Gary Wylie Staff Relations Officer Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services HEARING June 11, 2008. 2 Decision The Employer and the Union agreed to participate in the Expedited Mediation- Arbitration process in accordance with the negotiated Protocol for grievances filed on behalf of or by Bailiffs. A number 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. Robert Dalton and Gregory Arnold are Bailiffs based in Thunder Bay. They both grieved that the Employer changed their work location in contravention of the Collective Agreement. The Union presented multiple reasons as to why the grievors preferred their old location including travel time and fuel costs. Be that as it may, there has been no violation of the Collective Agreement and therefore the grievances are denied. th Dated in Toronto this 27 day of June, 2008. Felicity D. Briggs Vice-Chair
