Show INTERVIEW: KISSINGER CE: JK: to be represented whether they belong to the Union or not because they are a member of the bargaining unit. So, if a person came to work here and didn't choose to join the Union, and he worked here, say, 6 months or a year and he was fired and he had a legitimate reason for not being fired, I, as president of the Union if he came to me, would have to represent him, if he came to me, whether I wanted to or not. This is the law. Why do you feel so strongly about it? About the Union? I think they are absolutely necessary, especially when you are working for a big company and there are so many personalities involved. If you were working for just one individual and he was making all the decisions and he was a fair-minded person, I don't suppose that the Union would be necessary. But where there are so many people that are involved in a place 1 ike this, they don't all think alike. There are going to be times when somebody is going to get the wrong deal. Where you have a Union, you minimize this. ---?---. There have been times when there have been grievances, we've had arbitration cases. We've lost some of them, we've won some of them. The company has had to give people their jobs back a time or two--well, probably more 11 |
