HEARING
August 28, 2008.
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 a ?True
Mediation-Arbitration? process, wherein each provides the Vice-Chair with submissions, which
include the facts and authorities each relies upon. This decision is issued in accordance with the
Protocol and with Article 22.16 of the collective agreement, and is without prejudice or
precedent.
The grievance in this case relates to the allegation that the employer failed to post short term
temporary assignments for a period of several years. The grievor did not seek to fill a temporary
assignment but seeks enforcement of the collective agreement and compensation.
After reviewing the submissions of the parties and the collective agreement, it is my conclusion
that the grievance should be dismissed.
