HEARINGJuly 27 and 28, 2009.
DECISION
[1]The Employer and the Union at the Vanier Centre for Women agreed to
participate in the Expedited Mediation-Arbitration process in accordance
with the negotiated Protocol. Many 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.
[2]Ms. Joyce Poole is a Correctional Officer who has filed a grievance
regarding a conflict in the workplace with a fellow Correctional Officer.
After the incident the Employer accommodated a scheduling request to
ensure that the officers would not work together. This decision does not
alter that arrangement.
[3]The grievance filed asks for the situation to be ?fixed?. After hearing from
the parties I have determined that mediation between the officers is
necessary. I order the Employer to retain the services of an appropriate
mediator who is employed outside of the OPS. It is understood that this
mediation process is not punitive and is ordered in an effort to ?fix? the
situation in the workplace. Accordingly, neither officer will have anything
noted in their file regarding this order of mediation.
