AWARD

            Pursuant to Article 9.32(5) of the collective agreement, I conducted hearings at the City of Toronto, Ontario, on August 19, 1993, in order to hear and determine a series of grievances under the regular arbitration procedure.

            At the conclusion of the argument on each grievance, I delivered oral reasons, giving a brief resume as required by Article 9.32(5)(r) of the collective agreement.  I now hereby confirm my conclusions.

1.         In the Matter of the Grievance of the Scarborough Local - #602-92-00154 and #602-92-00155

            These are two grievances by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, Scarborough Local,  alleging that the Corporation violated the Collective Agreement respecting certain overtime worked by a group of employees on August 3, 1992 and September 7, 1992 which were both statutory holidays.  This matter was before Arbitrator Ken Swan and apparently, on December 30, 1992, the Corporation agreed to sustain the grievances.  However, for reasons which are not clear, many of the employees have not been paid.  It is contended that the Corporation should be required to compensate these employees by way of interest for the late payment of what was agreed upon as early as December 3, 1992. I agree.  In the circumstances, I order that each employee who is not as of this date been paid for work performed on August 3 and September 7, 1992 be paid an additional $1.00 by way of compensation in lieu of interest.  I direct that all payments pursuant to the sustained grievances as well as the $1.00 1 have awarded be paid within thirty (30) days of this date.

- 3-

The Corporation is directed to forward to the Scarborough Local a list of the employees to whom the monies ordered are to be paid within a reasonable period of time from this date.

            DATED AT TORONTO this 19, day of August, 1993.

                                                P. JOHN BRUNNER, ARBITRATOR
