I'm not saying that all shop unions are bad. I'm only saying that I have never seen a good one and I have seen a lot of bad ones.
This union and the company, interstate brands corporation, negotiated a deal. One of the tradeoffs was that in exchange for relatively high pay, the company could at ANY time change your schedule. For example, lets say that your shift is monday from 12 pm to 830 pm. As long as the bell rang before 830 pm.. they could tell you that your next shift starts at 8:31 pm. Frequently, you would just be about done... 8:25 pm and that bell would ring. You would walk up to the time clock and then you would get the rude awakening that your next 8+ hour would start at 1 am (4.5 hours from now).
