HEARING

Decision

1In a June 11, 2013 Memorandum of Agreement the parties agreed to continue the practice of local med/arb sessions throughout the Ministry of Child and Youth Services. In accordance with this Memorandum of Agreement, the parties held a med/arb session at Roy McMurtry Youth Centre in Brampton Ontario. A number of grievances were addressed from this and other Child and Youth facilities. Some of the outstanding grievances were resolved but a few including this matter remained in dispute and therefore require a short decision which is without prejudice or precedent.

2Mr. Rob Fazari is a Cook 2 who filed a grievance regarding overtime. The grievor did not attend and the Union had no facts in this regard.

3The Employer asked that the grievance be dismissed due to the lack of attendance and information.

4The grievance is dismissed.
