If it's not part of an agreement between the union and the company, neither has any power to compel the other to do anything accept as required by statute or regulation. But those issues would have to be enforced through the courts or regulatory bodies, such as the NLRB. Technically even the contract is only enforcable through the weight of legal recourse.The grievance machinery exists to streamline the enforcement of the contract without getting bogged down in the courts, but is limited in scope to terms of the contract. That is unless you know of a law, regulation, or contract clause that says differently.</p></blockquote><p></p>
