The temperature thing seems like it should be fixable and the union should call for it.

Unfortunately my union is fucking weak. They just had a new contract negotiated. In it they caved to the company only wanting to give a 2.36% raise and oh they voted that new hires like me get zero raise. Also the health benefits suck. Really not great union.
