The employer took the position that the grievor was not entitled to this leave and that there was 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 that is without written reasons, in accord with the provisions for expedited hearings under Article 22.16 of the collective agreement between the parties. The parties agree that this decision is without prejudice or precedent to any matters in the future. [3] Having carefully considered the submissions of the parties, and the jurisprudence of the Board, I must conclude the grievance is without merit and is therefore hereby dismissed. th Dated at Toronto this 18 day of June 2009.
