Long story short I’m being suspended after rules were enforced and I keep breaking these rules, I’m in shift work and I never wait for my replacement because they always come in late so I always leave before they arrive. Ironically I’m the one being penalized in this case and not the people coming in late, I definitely know they’re pulling this now because me and a few others unionized, there’s other bs I can’t get into but it seems like they’re just trying their best to remove the unionized workers but I have no proof so it won’t benefit me.
I know that one person got fired over something but they were unionized so they got rehired. I have a feeling like it won’t help my case that I’ve been leaving when I want because it just looks bad, can the union help me get a job or prevent me from termination?
Do you have a contract? If so that’s where the rules about when you can leave and the disciplinary process would be outlined. From there contact your steward and file a grievance (assuming that’s how your contract is set up).
If you don’t have a contract or you clearly violated it then you gotta get your coworkers to fight for you on the floor.
Depending on what union you’re a member of they might help you find work but that’s something to ask your steward or union rep.
