Do union contracts require just cause for employee termination?

Yes and even if the employer has just cause does not mean you will lose your job. Go to your union steward and talk to them about it. I know many union employers that got time off without pay for some infractions but if it involves drug use, theft, or any other illegal activity your job is gone and you will more than likely have trouble getting unemployment.

Union contracts usually have lots of rules guiding employee termination.

Typically, I would say yes. But you must remember that a contract is an agreement between 2 parties so ANYTHING can be written or not written in as long as it does not violate a law. Keep in mind here that workers are generally protected by state labor laws, if the contract conflicts with labor the code....well then I am afraid you may have a long legal battle ahead of you.

Normally yes but not listed as "just cause".
A contract will specify ways an employee loses seniority.
i.e Absent three days without calling in
Failure to return following expiration of leave of absence
Failure to return from lay-off
Theft

If the Union has done it's job, then there will be many safe guards in their contract to protect the workers and strict guidlines as to termination.

Generally, yes. But it's not required (it depends on the terms of each collective bargaining agreement).
