You've worked at 5 companies. What section of the contract is alcohol consumption addressed?
This is correct.
What a union does have a great deal to do with is what happens if you do something wrong, or are accused of doing something wrong. That is why most people do not mind paying union dues. It is simply insurance.
The union is also responsible for things like KCM, HIMS, and all of the legislation that the non-union members still get the benefit of but did not have to pay for.
