Absolutely. Anybody accused of anything needs their own counsel.But what of a violation of rules or regulations. It might cost a man his job, but it will not land him before a judge. The union cannot defend anybody in a court of law. But it can defend a member vis a vis sanctions imposed by an employer. The LION is not a big fan of unions. I have belonged to several unions, after all, I did live in New York once. A good contract with clear work rules and expectations is a good thing for both the worker and for the boss. The LION believes that all employers should treat all employees as valuable assets to his business, assets to be protected. To the extent that this is seldom done it an affront to decency. But if I were an employer, and my workers were in a union, I would treat that union with the greatest respect, for it represents my employees, that is my assets. Conversely, the LION believes that all employees owe respect and loyalty to their employers. If they cannot do this, they should look for a different employer. ROAR |
