Just to clarify, the Union is not going to fight for you on this once you break the contract and Republic comes after you. You're going to have to hire your own lawyer to fight this (at a significant expense?). You signed this contract outside the prevue of the union (before you were a member).
I believe the union is sueing the company on the contract but not on the behalf of any one individual. You can hold out hope that eventually the union wins or the company eventually removes the damages provision of the contract on their own. But that is a decision you would have to make.
