And because so he and my manager had to work 76 hour weeks after the boss decided to cut the other union guys after he realised his guys could slide under the radar.( which is why they wouldn't give me union scale). My manager decided to tell the boss to give me the smallest bonus he could while still keeping in company policy as retribution for standing up for myself. He ended up getting a 5 figure bonus for completing the job under budget through what I consider fraud. I have been given the cold shoulder ever since they got back.

I will be doing the bare minimum until I find another job.
