Sorry that happened to your dad....I had a brother who sought his Union for assistance in a matter directly related to the company. He never got it....he was very bitter about that as he of course paid his dues and believed they would come to his aide. Needless to say he left that company and made a point to 'not apply for work' anywhere that had a Union.

That union gave my father 28 weeks vacation one year,then left my mother with nothing after he passed. They had a shuyster doctor take care of his on the job injury which ended his job,and eventually his life. The union should have done their jobs and they did not. This is an emotional subject even over three decades later. Police unions are the worst.
