Government agencies that help you
The company and the union can not take care of every issue you may run it to as an employee or union member. There may issues with how the union or company have treated you or things they may not have been taken care of in the manner you expected. Sometimes the issues you have are ones that can not be taken care of by the union or the company, which means you will have to do the research and leg work yourself in finding and deciding you will use an outside agency to deal with your issue. The union may be able to assist you in dealing these agencies or in some cases they may not be happy that you are using these agencies in the first place (NLRB). Either way it is your right and in truth, like your union dues pay for the union, your tax dollars pay for these government agencies, so you should take advantage of the services they offer.
