    Really? No 30 man union I know of has on staff attorneys.
    Most union shops I've seen are part of, or affiliated with, one of the major unions and those big unions do have some in house lawyers that the local unit may be able to access for questions. So don't look at just the size of this one company's union base. Look also at what the larger union or affiliation has to offer.

    The "major" unions do have lawyers - but they are not used for advice from union members. They are generally available for advice if the local union leadership is considering going into arbitration and/or filing a complaint with the labor department. During arbitration, local unions generally hire local lawyers. The major union lawyers will not reposnd to a union member for advice - they will tell them to seek advice from the local union leadership.
