sorry for the late response…. ive been off a few months. and your real world analogy doesnt work at all just because you dont have an understanding of how the workers comp system and union/collective bargaining works. See, a workers comp claim (which is the administrative law system where such permant disability claims are presented, have nothing to do with the union beyond the determination of what benefits he is entitled to. the payment of those benefits which he can no longer accumulate is paid by the state workers insurance fund (swif) If after some time, it is discovered that he has fraudently filed a workers compensiation claim, the union doesnt have standing to get involved. If you tried to file a grievance, the union administrator would look at him crosseyed and inform him to go take it up with the workers compensation judge. The fraudulent claim would not have any detrimental impact on the other members of the union. the only “ripple effect” would be felt byt eh SWIF, and trust me they would and do prosecute. (they take everything. many times many times the value of the payment of benefits.) So Please, please, before you pull your chair up to the big boy table – make sure you are cognizant of the topics on which you are to converse.
