If you were on probation it is highly unlikely that anything can be done UNLESS you are contending that your termination was unlawful because of discrimination (your membership in a legally protected class of persons based on age, sex, religion, race, etc.) or because you engaged in some other legally protected activity, i.e., complaining about what you believed to be unlawful acts including discrimination, complaining about pay issues, complaining about safety issues, etc.
If none of these types of things apply in your situation then I am afraid Your union is correct and there would be no redress avaialble to you,.
