HEARING

December 1, 2010.

Decision

1The Employer and the Union at the Central East 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.

2Mr. Ryan Archer and five other Correctional Officers filed grievances that alleged the Employer violated the Collective Agreement by failing to assign them stand-by duty during the G-20 summit held in June of 2010.

3After hearing the facts and submissions regarding this matter I find that there is no violation of the Collective Agreement and therefore the grievances are dismissed.
