Add Comment Question: The company I have work for 39 plus years has signed a collective agreement with a union. I was not given the opertuanty by union to vote at anytime for either the union ratification or the collective agreement. The highest employee hourly rate for employment is $0.20 less then I currently make. With union deductions my income will be further reduced as well. I received notice in mail on return from scheduled 2 week vacation from union that I could not be permitted to continue employment as a non-union member. I feel shafted by both employer and union. Do I have grounds for constructive dismissal? Answer: Thank you for writing to us. We are sorry to hear about the recent developments in your workplace. Unfortunately, as a result of your being a union member we are unable to assist you. If you have an issue with your employer you must bring a grievance with the assistance of your union representative.
