By the way,

What if there is a union where I work, but I have chosen not to be a member. If I have a grievance, does the union have to represent me?
Yes. Legally, the union has the same obligation to represent you fairly as it does to represent union members. You can ask the union to file a grievance if you are fired or disciplined, even if you are not a member.


Can non-union members be represented by the union?
Yes. Legally, the union has the same obligation to represent you fairly as it does to represent union members. You can ask the union to file a grievance if you are fired or disciplined, even if you are not a member.

NLRB
Examples of labor organization conduct that violates the law:
Refusing to process a grievance because an employee has criticized union officials or because an employee is not a member of the union in states where union security clauses are not permitted.
