But I'm not sure the union is going to be on my side.

If you aren't, check the agreements the union has with you and your employer. These are contracts with enforceable terms and are upheld.

Stop and think this through for just a second.

Try this thought experiment:

If I want dogs in the office and my colleague wants dogs banned, you’re telling me you think the union will simultaneously negotiate for both our positions with our employer?

Does not compute. It is not possible for them to be on everyone's side.
