Decision

The Parties referred this conversion grievance 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 jurisdiction to deal with these matter and they requested that I issue a without prejudice decision with no reasons.

Having carefully reviewed the submissions of the Parties, as well as the jurisprudence from the Grievance Settlement Board regarding this matter, I find that there is no violation of the collective agreement. Accordingly, the grievance is hereby dismissed.

Dated at Toronto, this 5^th^ day of December, 2002.
