Decision
[1]Mr. Jeffrey Ostler, a correctional officer at Ottawa Carleton Detention Centre,
grieved on September 22, 2008 that he should be given a full time position in the
regular service. The employer submitted that a MERC agreement governs the
conversion of correctional officers and the grievance should be dismissed.
[2]The parties referred this grievance to mediation/arbitration in accordance with
their protocol to expedite cases and Article 22.16 of the collective agreement. At
the outset of the hearing the parties agreed that I had the jurisdiction to decide this
matter. They asked that I issue a decision without precedent or prejudice, and
without written reasons.
[3]Having carefully considered the submissions of the parties, as well as the
jurisprudence of the board, I hereby dismiss this grievance.
