Add Comment Question: I have been dismissed from my job without cause after 12 years of service. We just had a Union certification 6 weeks earlier but have no collective agreement yet. My question is do I have to go through the Union and have them represent me or can I just take my employer to court? Answer: You would have to go through the union.
