What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
I was terminated from my employment within the employers designated probationary period. I attempted to contact the union. It literally took me calling everyday for a week and a half before I even spoke to an actual person and not just a voicemail. I left a message with these people multiple times a day with my contact information. Once I finally received a call back, I explained the situation and was then told that since I was terminated during the probationary period that they can't help me and thus I could not file a grievance. I paid my initiation fee and 2 months of union dues at this point.
Can they do that? Isn't that theft?
