Decision
1The parties have agreed to an Expedited Mediation-Arbitration Protocol. It is not necessary to reproduce the entire Protocol here. Suffice it to say that the parties have agreed to a “True Mediation-Arbitration” process, wherein each provides the Vice-Chair with submissions, which include the facts and authorities each relies upon. This decision is issued in accordance with the Protocol and with Article 22.16 of the collective agreement, and is without prejudice or precedent.
2The grievances in this case relates to claims that the grievors should have been called in to work on a statutory holiday.
3After reviewing the submissions of the parties and the collective agreement, it is my conclusion that the grievances should be dismissed.
4I remain seized as required.
Dated at Toronto this 6th day of February 2012.
