Decision
The Employer and the Union at the Bluewater Youth Centre agreed to participate
in the Expedited Mediation-Arbitration process. A number of the grievances were
settled through that process. However, a few remained unresolved and therefore
require a decision from this Board. In accordance with the agreement of the parties,
decisions dealing with those grievances that were not resolved 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.
Connie Forsyth is a Youth Services Officer who filed a grievance that alleged the
Employer violated the Collective Agreement by failing to provide her with
overnight accommodation when taking a one day course in London.
The grievor was unable to identify which provision of the Collective Agreement
had been violated. In my view, there has been no contractual breach and for that
reason the grievance is denied.
