Decision
[1]Mr.Coghill, a Youth Services Officer at Brookside Youth Centre, grieved on May 6,
2008 regarding the manner of his return to work, after being absent for sometime because
of an injury. He did not like the way the return to work was effected. He said that
manager in charge of his plan viewed the grievor?s early return to work as ?a feather in
his cap.? The employer took the position that there had been no breach of the collective
agreement.
[2]At the outset of the hearing, the parties agreed that I had the jurisdiction to deal with this
matter and they asked that I issue a decision without written reasons, in accord with the
provisions for expedited hearings under Article 22.16 of the collective agreement
between the parties.
[3]Having carefully considered the submissions of the parties, and the jurisprudence of the
Board, I must conclude that there has been no breach of the collective agreement. Thus, I
hereby dismiss this grievance.

Dated at Toronto this 18 day of February 2009.
