In my union, reps have to be put up for vote every three years, and if even after that you still don’t like them, you have the option to go straight to your FTO.
They may also be using the term manager very loosely. At my workplace most of the supervisors are union, but they have 1 top person at each department of each worksite who’s excluded from the union (not really management, but a company representative at least).
I’m like 80% certain that’s illegal basically everywhere innit? Conflict of interest
I’m sure it was very illegal, and nobody did a thing about it.
