DECISION
[1]The Employer and the Union at the Central East Correctional Centre agreed to participate
in the Expedited Mediation-Arbitration process in accordance with the negotiated
Protocol. Most of the 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]Mr. Narlan Burns is a Correctional Officer who filed three grievances including one that
alleged discrimination on the basis of the Employer?s ongoing failure to accommodate.
[3]I have considered the facts and submissions made by the parties and I order the Employer
to pay to the grievor $5,000 in damages.
[4]The grievances are upheld to that extent. I remain seized in the event of implementation
difficulties.

Dated at Toronto this 8 day of December 2009.
