Anyone dumb enough to talk union with a member of management deserves to

I've been doing Mon & Tue Ted O'Brien shifts, that will last through at
least the end of July,  as for not being noticed, funny, my name appeared
for the month of May on that little list at the end of the corridor to
the event room.

Since the creation of "OnPoint/Special Coverage" that has not been true, 
a lot of value is placed on that program and I think it's done very well.

Unfortunately in most cases (read all stations without a collective
bargaining agreement that states just cause) management doesn't need a
reason to cut anyone loose,  that's the nature of the biz, you know that
going in so you deal with it.
