In 30 years in the teamsters I learned this, if you do not have the support of your fellow workers, there is nothing the unions can do to save your job if you are a lousy employee. They may prolong it, but eventually the company can rid themselves of you.
Every employee I saw get fired deserved it, many employees that go to arbitration and get their jobs back, never should have been fired.
Do you all even know who sits on a grievance board? 50% of those sitting in judgement are management from other companies in the same field.
