Answer to Question 1

No. An individual union member has no right to compel his union to progress his grievance to arbitration. The union can settle the grievance or determine not to progress the grievance to a higher step when it acts honestly and in good faith. In most cases, where an employee has been terminated from his or her job, the union does in fact take the case to arbitration even though in some instances the case may be weak. They do so out of a sense of justice to give the member his or her day in court, and sometimes they are partially motivated to do so in order not to be sued.
