I'm hesitant to say where he works, even in a roundabout way, but he works in 
the transportation industry. It is a "hot shop" and is in a sensitive 
location. The problem is that most of the employees in his company ARE 
unionized, but the corporation is planning to layoff large amounts of people. 
He expects that the unionized workers will have first dibs on his lower level 
grunt job.
