HEARING

February 13, 2004.

Decision

The Parties referred these grievances to mediation/arbitration in accordance with Article 22.16 of the Collective Agreement. The grievances involve the denial of the opportunity to perform overtime work at the Vanier Centre for Women in Brampton at a time when the grievors were working at the Vanier Centre for Women in Milton. At the outset of the hearing, the Parties agreed that I exercise my jurisdiction to decide this matter.

Having carefully reviewed the submissions of the Parties, I am not satisfied that the Union has demonstrated that there has been a violation of the Collective Agreement.

Accordingly, the aforementioned grievances are dismissed.

Dated at Toronto this 20^th^ day of February 2004.
