HEARING

October 4, 2010.

Decision

1The Employer and the Union at the Ottawa Carleton Detention 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.

2Ms. Jennifer Pegg filed a group grievance regarding alleged violations of Article 2 of the Collective Agreement and harassment.

3After considering the facts and issues in this matter, I must dismiss the grievance.
