Add Comment Question: My niece worked as an RPN, had clean records, was terminated by the management of the retirement home she worked for, citing serious infraction that is vague and unspecific. It is now five days and their union rep has not acted on her repeated request to file a grievance with the company. What options does she have? When can she contact a lawyer to represent her? Answer: Unfortunately we cannot help your niece because she is unionized. If her representation by the union is not adequate she has the option to file a complaint against the union but that process is lengthy, expensive and has a relatively low prospect of success.
