The union doesn't have any say in criminal matters. Unless it's reporting managers & supervisors to appropriate authorities when they falsify documents and return contraband to inmates or give them postage stamps in exchange for being cooperative or providing information.
But, management generally doesn't commit crimes for personal gain. Their crimes are more crimes of convenience, crimes that make their jobs easier so that they don't have to work.

But, management generally doesn't commit crimes for personal gain. Their crimes are more crimes of convenience, crimes that make their jobs easier so that they don't have to work. I'm surprised to hear that managers and supervisors even have union protection. When I was the president of a railroad transportation union I represented yard switchman. I represented many employees who were disciplined including termination for many offenses that included using alcohol/drugs on duty, stealing railroad equipment, stealing merchandise from boxcars, failing to report for duty and many more offenses. Every single person I represented was returned to work and most of them even received their lost wages. I wasn't that good at representing employees it's just that the railroad was that afraid of retaliation from the union. However, when I was promoted to yardmaster then that was considered an upper management position. We were not protected by a union and were on our own. The pay at that level was extremely good, but it was a very risky position to accept. When the union called a strike the railroad would use all the yardmasters and company officials to work on the ground putting trains together and then taking the trains from point A to point B. Very often we slept on cots on the property because we were expected to work long hours and then we didn't have to risk the danger of crossing the picket line. We were actually treated like the enemy by union members and since they could never be fired sometimes it was difficult managing them. But then my life got better when I accepted a job with TDCJ just 29 years ago. Bwaaaaaaaa, haaaaaaaa, haaaaaaa!

Managers and supervisors cannot be union members by law. The union does 'Julian Assange' them when they refuse to follow law and policy, although anyone with knowledge of the acts can report them. It's usually union officials who actually do it since their careers are already finished. Generally, people don't grow a set until they have little or nothing to lose.
For instance, few would know what's really going on on the Mexican border if it were not for the Border Patrol's union officials informing the press and other government officials. Those guys have nothing to lose and they have enough protection while acting as union officials that the agency has to be very discrete in how it retaliates against them.
Federal unions are very different than private & quasi-private unions like railroad unions. They can't strike for instance. They can't negotiate wages. Congress sets wages. All they can do is negotiate working conditions. And, they can 'Julian Assange' cocktasters who think they are above the law & policy...
