[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1095739, member: 42270"] This sounds like one of those anti-union anecdotes that gets misinterpreted and spreads around like a bad case of the clap in a college town.. For her to friend report her fellow union member would not be a contractual breach - I can't imagine any company agreeing to provisions in a Collective Bargaining Agreement that prevented their employees from alerting management about another worker sabotaging an operation. However, there is an unwritten rule that union members don't inform on brother/sister union members. This stems from the late 1800's/early 1900's when company goon squads were literally gunning us down in the street, there were no (threadbare today, but better than nothing) NLRB protections for workers trying to organize, et cetera.
