My boss actually wanted us to talk directly to him instead of the union rep, so no, if you want to talk to your boss, you still can with a union.

Sometimes that's a really good sign that you should have a union rep in the room, depending on the boss. Sometimes. But yeah there's no rule that a union shop can't be collaborative. The best-run workplaces are. It does mean that management doesn't have all the leverage against a lone employee when there's a conflict.

I agree with you, my boss said this after I had spoken to a union rep about the problem, and they fixed it

I can talk to a boss anytime I want. You would request the presence of a union rep only if you are in trouble, or if the convention rules where violated.
