You belong to and pay for union representation. You were advised by this union to take the suspension. Talk to the union rep as he/she would know the circumstances under which you were fired. The suspension may have been applied so the company and union could investigate the charges and make a permanent decision. Insubordination is not a workplace right.

I believe you have a very good case. Since you have a union then you need to review your union contract since this is a binding agreement between the employer and you. In most cases, unless you work in a "right to work state". there must be cause. also you will need to review your suspension. Did it state that this was a suspension pending investigation? I think you have a lot of information that is lacking to give you a full answer. I would first begin by going to your union rep. You pay them to help you, they need to help you.
good luck

What did you do for it to be declared insubordination? If it were me making the decision, and you did something seriously wrong on the job, then I would probably suspend you for three days to figure out whether or not your work history with the company outweighs you being fired. It completely depends on why you were suspended in the first place.

I had the same thing happen but not in a union setting.. It sounds like they didn't go through the proper process to fire you. If they didn't write up and document the offenses properly you will have the ability to at least collect unemployment because the firing was not justified

even if you fight this and get your job back, how will the working conditions be? i mean, really, do you think they would be nice to you? no- they will ride you and try to find any way possible to "get you back" for fighting them on this issue. i would try to find another job ASAP, and work on not getting myself in trouble to begin with. that way, you won't be faced with this again. good luck!
