I left out most of the Union info to "try" and keep the post "short". To answer your question, yes I have filed for wrongful termination through my Union, "UFCW", however I have yet to hear from my Union concerning the verbal abuse and assault, and I have not had any follow-up on the wrongful discharge grievence. It has been 3 weeks since Jack battered my shoulder and I filed a grievence on that, no reply from the Union rep as of yet.
I filed my wrongful termination grievence 20 min after my meeting with the store director, and now 4 days later I still have yet to hear anything from my Union.
My regional Union rep has yet to return any of my 3 calls over the last 2 weeks. I am looking into contacting someone else to handle my grievences. So far, considering how much in Union dues I have paid in the last 8+ years, I have had very little support or help from them. This is the reason I am asking what I can do legally. I don't think I will receive any compensation through my Union, so is "now" the time to get a hold of a lawyer? Does anyone think a Lawyer can help me?
