If this is indeed the case of what I think happened, then unions and the arbitrator did exactly what they are supposed to do and protect the workers from wrongful termination seemingly justified or not.
There is no way it’s the case of “yeah well fuck you, take them back”, it must have been in the agreement to be sent to a drug program instead of being fired. :ponder
But yeah, logic aside so lets go back to generics of “unions bad” or “unions good”, neither of which is right by definition as it doesn’t talk specifics…
