I spent nearly 30 years as a machinist in a compulsory union shop (you paid dues whether you joined or not). It was nearly impossible to get fired. In fact, in all those years there was only one person actually fired, and only because he started a fist fight in front of too many witnesses.
Even Frank didn't get fired. If anyone needed to be fired for being worthless, he was the most creative guy at finding ways to avoid work.
I'll bet you loved those union wages tho...And hey, those paid vacations and health insurance???
Yeah, I was afraid "union rules" would come up.
Still the threat could be made and attempted.
I see your point however if you can't fire someone for this kind of behavior, then its pretty much a lost cause.
You would think even the union would admit this is a punishable offense. Its certainly not safe.

I have never belonged to a union, but in non-union shops it is amazing how often some clown can hang around without ever doing a full day's work. Most management types would rather overwork the willing workers than attempt to get the worthless types to get up off their rumps. Now and then one of these worthless clowns manages to actually get promoted and then they seem to have life tenure, they never get fired.
