Yes and was told it was confidential information.

And you just left it there?

I tried to join the union and they took it to a executive vote and I was not allowed to join even thought they represent me. I was very vocal in 2000 when we tried to decertifiy the collective bargaining unit of where I work.

The other problem I have is the stewards have a green bar print out of everyones seniority date and labor grade. This had always been confidential information but not any more. After they first got in they did a little fancy footwork of doing a add on to the bargain of giving union officials and union stewards employment protection in being bumped out of their labor grade of being layed off and being called back to work.

I have pointed out that this is a violation of my states constitutional rights to work that say that a persons employment and maintainment of employment can not be determined based upon being in the union or not in the union. Their answer was the unions have deep pockets and no one has ever fought this clause in a contract in a right to work state.
