Decision
[1]The Employer and the Union at the Maplehurst 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. Albert Swierczynski's is a Correctional Officer who filed a grievance regarding
various violations of the Collective Agreement. During the mediation the Employer
conceded that it breached its policy and expressed regret that the grievor was negatively
affected. I appreciated this forthright concession. After considering the facts and
submissions I order the Employer to pay the grievor $300.00 of general damages.
[3]I remain seized.
