My husband used to be a dock supervisor (management, non-union) for a trucking company. He dealt, naturally, with Teamsters. One of the Teamsters came to work one day and shot the shop steward. He *wasn't* fired. Apparently, there's nothing in their contract about shooting other Teamsters.
The other things that were in the contract were both astounding and appalling.
Anybody else out there getting paid day off because it's your birthday?????

I suppose the Union contract protected him from being arrested and prosecuted, too?
Actually, I got a paid birthday holiday when I worked for a bank - an industry that is not now nor never has been unionized.
What, exactly, is so astounding and appalling about it?
