You can have your union meetings off-site during your off hours...

And there's where you're wrong. If your demands are reasonable and you're
worth what you're asking, odd are you will get what you asked for. If they
are out of line, you will probably be locked out and lose your job. Do you
submit that you have the right to strike for $100/hour and be guaranteed of
not being replaced when your demands are totally out of line with reality?
That's what you are in effect saying...
