My boss is a hypocrite. What can I do about this?

My boss is a hypocrite, and I have had enough of it. It’s too much detail to get in to, but my boss is a hypocrite, and after talking about it to my parents, I have come to the conclusion that it would be better if I let my boss get away with that, because if I were to get another job (which I intent on doing in a month or two) it might hurt me, because my future boss could ask for references, and he wouldn’t be very happy about what my current boss tells him. However, I’m a member of the union, and I simply won’t stand for my boss’ hypocrisy. What can I do about this? Should I contact the union? Or is there another solution to this problem? Surely my boss can’t just get away with being so hypocritical?

I have an autistic child and another neurotypical teen boy. So mom is the full time caregiver for our autistic son and really can’t get into the workforce. Should I take the job? Hours also may suck. But the work…

After work is over (I clock out), I am not responsible for picking up any calls from my manager, co-workers, etc, right?

Let’s say an issue happens at work and they are trying to find who caused the issue. I’m off the clock and they try to call me to ask me some questions. Whether I happen to cause the issue or not, any work-related person, at my job, can not speak with me until I clock back in the next day, correct?
