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.
