A union has been discussed but it would not help the people that need it. All are salary and most places do not allow salary to belong to a union. But thanks anyway.

Nothing concrete yet, but am working on it. There is another man in the same position that is 20 years younger and been here only 1 year. He has not been told that he would have to go to nights. The younger man was told that they were going to make the other guy go in hopes that he would quit...
