First year is probationary year. Typically that means you can't vote on union issues and you aren't protected legally by the union either in the event you pork something up. You're sort of in limbo until day 366 with the company... worst case scenario would be some big time labor dispute (like this lawsuit may shape up to be) and the company can screw with you because the union rules don't apply.
