Reply To: working the night shift

I worked for many years the midnight shift for New York transit because taking off for Shabbot was a high seniority day. As a result the union made me a deal that I could take off Shabbot and in return work midnights. Interestingly while I worked midnights I never got in trouble even when I opened the doors out of the station or would drag an occasionial passenger. Then when I had enough senority to work days and get Shabbot off I got in some trouble and was forced to retire.
