All unions and locals do not run their business the same. I am retired from Local 798 and we have a no work stoppage clause in our contract. If there is a grievance it goes first to the WF, if not settled then the steward, if still not settled or goes to the BA and if can't get it settled then it goes to arbitration. We are required by our union to be productive 💯% of the time at work.
We have a retirement as well as medical and life insurance also a 401K
Labor and management should work as partners since each needs the other and that is exactly how 798 works
Have you ever used a MIG welder?
