    Default Re: Wrongful or Retaliatory Termination of a Union Member

    If you believe your union has failed to represent you, you can actually file a grievance against them.

    Although I have not received a letter, I was told it was for, "Destruction of Company Property" and " creating a hostile workplace".
    I talked to a law firm today (not the actual attorney, yet) and I was told that I would indeed have to exhaust all avenues of the Union grievence procedures. Normally I'd be happy that it would mean more options, however, as it has been pointed out by others, the UFCW is a terrible Union, and I have yet to hear from any person of a grievence being resolved. Often a Union member will be dragged through months of "not knowing whats going on", getting only an occasional phone call that, "We're working on it!".
    I have no confidence in my Union handling this effectively, and I am quite certain it will simply "hold me up" as I try to find a way to get Justice here. After 3-6 months from now, how will I be able to call on any of my former employees to remember certain events or what took place? There are other considerations affected by time as well.

    For now, I will write out every detail I can think of and of all events as they happened. I'll try to gather some intelligence, perhaps ask a friend to take some snap-shots of other employee's price guns. I should probably also get a hold of the employee who apparently has a slanderous last name, in case an affidavit is needed.
    These are all prudent things to do. Keep a carefully detailed log of all things which are relevant to this case as soon as you can sit down to write them after they occur.

    Document every phone call to your union you make. Call on a cell phone and let the voicemail or something of theirs pick up so that it's in your monthly statement. They might claim that they didn't get a phone call, but you'll be able to show that you made you. And leave detailed message so that the call timer in your monthly statement will show something that can't be sluffed off as we answered and were disconnected. How we were to know it was a call from him?

    The devil's in the details.
