Of course he hasn't. Do you really need to ask?
Perhaps it should be required reading prior to accepting membership.
At my first carrier the hard copies were distributed to us new-hires. The implication was it was done because it was important to educate yourself on the union you were joining. Reading it enlightens the new members on industry background, the importance of a union, and the most important one; an individual's duty as a member of the union.
That lost sense of individual responsibility is why questions like this are even asked.
I don't blame the original poster, it's a collective failure.
