the union cant hide anything, the union is there to represent the staff during any disciplinary issues to ensure the company stays within the employment laws in their investigations and disciplinary actions

They have zero power in protecting a cop who has broken the rules, all they can do is beg for a lesser punishment

I was a union representative for years, I know the scope they have
In the US? Which police union?
Liar!!!!Filt!!!!

The best thing for America is racial segregation and for white cops to abandon these blue cities.

Cops protect each other.  Cover each other.  They won't testify against another cop who did wrong.

You cover my butt, I'll cover yours.

The DA's also protect the cops as we have seen.  Klubacher protected the guy who knelt on Floyd's neck.  He'd been previously brought up on charges and she got him off.  It's the DA's job.

There are positives to this and negatives.

The negative is that some cops are chronic abusers and get away with it.

Are you telling us that the police unions do not support this behavior?  That unions are not out to protect and defend union members?

The function of a union is to protect and defend its members.

The Catholic Church protecting its pedophile priests is very similar.

Unions are unions, they are all the same, they are a collective of members that allow more bargaining power for the staff.
They have elected representatives to talk for the group, they are involved in pay talks, management restructuring, in fact anything that could impact on the staff concerned
They also act as a representative in disciplinary issues.

They are not however magicians if a guy breaks the rules and the company wants to sack them they can, and there is nothing the union can do about it.

They can sue the company.

The teachers union can’t protect someone from being fired if they break policy or rules. However, the union protects bad or ineffective teachers from being fired. Instead, they send these teachers for training or shuffle them between schools.
