Re: attorney not returning calls
This is a job for your shop steward or for the filing of a grievance. Call the union and you might also contact the senior partner of the law firm.
It is also a good idea to write to your lawyer. Lawyers deal with paper and LIKE paper. (We are a strange group sometimes!)
PS- What is the name of this union. It is an excellent benefit in todays world.
