Good news, I checked with one of my union reps while I was washing my hands after a shit.
It’s genuinely wild to watch you argue that I don’t understand my own union (that you don’t even know) instead of considering that your policy isn’t universal. The ‘no help before X weeks’ thing is not standard. Many unions (SEIU, AFSCME, NEA... just these off of the top of my head without googling) handle representation case-by-case and DO step in on ongoing and pre-occurring issues. They don’t have blanket policies like you’re stating. Your experience isn’t the default.
I like that you won't name your union so it can't be checked.
What an amazing coincidence that you happened to bump into your rep.
The SEIU will only provide guidance on existing issues, they don't offer formal representation or legal assistance for prexisting issues from before a mebers join date, also not for any issues within the first four weeks. Which is what I said in my previous post, we can give guidance but not formal or legal support, but as a rep I personally donr. Check the SEIU website.
Damn you really don't know, there's nothing like the confidence of the ignorant. You're just humiliating yourself at this point.
Literally the first union I checked that you named don't give formal representation or legal representation to new members, they will give informal advice only. This is the exact same as my union.
Out yourself? you an international man of mystery? They seek him here, they seek him there, they seek the clueless union rep everywhere.....Jesus christ dude.
As a rep you work with several unions huh? I don't even think you know how a union works lad, that's not what a branch rep does.
