    A union? Let me tell you about unions. I work for a major telecom, in a call center. We're unionized. In the last 2 months people have been let go for being late/calling off for:

    1. Husband had a heart attack, couldn't leave daughter alone.

    2. Person was pissing blood from kidney infection, went home early 2 days in a row.

    3. Hurricane flooded roads. 2 people were held responisble for the center not being staffed appropiately, because they were trapped at home.

    So yeah threaten unionization. I've paid 100 bucks so far this year and my union has done nothing but charge us an additional 13 bucks for an initiation fee.
