Yup. You can't make this $hit up. I'm sure upper management is having a good chuckle over this. Who knows, maybe they planted the seed of the idea to do this.
Perhaps it is also time to look for a new law firm. I'm sure this firm explained the concept of a Chinese Wall, but...yeah... no. I can not wrap my head around the idea that the very law firm that is supposed to represent all of you as a body encouraged one member of that body to sue another. You just can't make it up.
I know there are many motions already put forward, but is there one to preclude union reps from profiting from their elected positions?
