Let's say you present that in court as your defense. The Judge will then ask when they violated the contract what did you do? Well, you will say you did the only thing you could do, file a grievance with the union. Then it was up to the union to bring the grievance up. Then he will asks if those steps were followed. If no, then it was on you or your representation. If yes, then you followed the legal process available to you. Then he will throw out your defense since it is irrelevant to the current contract dispute.
