I think Rita's answer was just the answer I needed. Thank you very much because it was appropriate and concise.

Rita's answer is good, but...
If there is a dispute, instead of taking it to court, employee has to go to arbitration to settle the matter. Usually, the employer chooses the arbitrator. Unions don't come into it. At least that's how it is in the US.

If it goes to arbitration, there is no appeal against the decision

The result of the arbitration has to be accepted by both parties, with no question of any further appeal against it.

Binding Arbitration of Grievances
This form of resolving disputes involves allowing a neutral party, or arbitrator, to settle grievances between the employee or employees and the employer. Final and binding arbitration requires both parties to honor the decision.
