Hi digimaus,

It must be a pretty big source of extra income.  Do they get any from me? 
Well today they sure did.  I woke up at 4:45 so the lights are burning for
an extra hour.

I'll head to work early and get it finish and get home.  I get more done in
5 hours on a Sunday then I do in 9 hours when the rest of the staff is there.

Ugh, labour unions.  We're going through that now, I'm not managment so
I'll be stuck with whatever lies they tell the drivers.  They are telling the
new to canada employees how much money they are going to get.  LOL!

Last union I got stuck with my wages went down quite a bit.  If I'm stuck
paying dues and it's more then I pay for benefits now I'm going to give notice
and look for something else.

Shawn
