That's "IF" they followed the Union rules which everyone is seeing now they have no plans to do.....so..........
What's your plan "B"?
They can only squeeze that by weak locals and Union stewards. When it is grieved and brought before a panel or a labor board if necessary it crumbles. They made the agreement sometimes you have to stick their nose in it and force them to follow it.

I know that you have to play the hand you're dealt, and this isn't your doing.
But can you at least understand *why* most of the hourly employees feel like the union has lost all of its teeth?

Somewhat. But many of those Union employees weren’t around years ago when this company was like the military. Over the last 15 years or so they’ve gotten pretty lackadaisical. The difference now is this group of Union members is easily frightened, unlike the guys who taught me.
If this was 1997 we walked out the front doors with the international Union that was completely broke and the promise of measly $55 in two weeks that we ended up paying Union dues on.
Now everyone’s gonna get $1000 and their benefits paid if we have to walk out. I don’t think the Union has lost its teeth as much as . I think the membership has gotten soft.
The company has done a great job of dividing us and conquering us.

I wouldn’t disagree necessarily.
But if you play poker against a guy that knows what you’re holding, I think we both know how that game ends.
