Should I give my union documentation that they should have on file already?

Your union should work for you that is, your union works on your behalf. But if they breach the contract, allow employers to bypass union/company policies, and wrongfully terminate employees what should I do when they call asking for documentation they should have from the company and the union itself for over a year. In May 2008 I was wrongfully terminated because my union breached it duty to represent me. Now today after going through the union chain of command I get a call today and what shocked me is that my grievance I have at home is not documented with the union (there is another grievance filed I never knew about or have documentation for form the union) , the union rep doesn’t have a copy of my termination paper. Do I give them documentation that they should already have on file from the company and union if they documented like they were supposed to? Because it sounds strange for a union to ask for papers that should be on file already and they have access to. I just sounds like something is not right with asking me for something you should already have when you want to do an investigation. And when I say documentation, I mean everything I have even statement from other co-workers that are for me only.
