HEARING

December 2, 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.

2Michael Hottinger filed a grievance that alleged the Collective Agreement and HPRO – overtime protocol - were violated when he was not called for overtime for a particular shift.

3After hearing the objections, evidence and submissions in this matter I must dismiss the grievance.
