FOR THE GRIEVOR Scott Andrews Grievance Officer Ontario Public Service Employees Union

HEARING November 20, 2001.
DECISION
The parties referred these grievances regarding holiday payment/overtime work on statutory holidays to mediation/arbitration in accordance with Article 22.16 of the Collective Agreement.
At the outset of the hearing, the Parties agreed that I had the jurisdiction to deal with this matter and they requested that I issue a without prejudice decision, with no reasons.
Having carefully reviewed the evidence and the submissions of the Parties, as well as the jurisprudence of the Grievance Settlement Board, I find that the Employer has applied the Collective Agreement in accordance with the language contained therein.
I will remain seized of this matter.
Dated at Toronto, this 26th day of November, 2001.
