This would be something to send to Brian Lowry on the national level.

Yea, I'm pretty sure I couldn't count on my local union to even think about taking action on something like this. They wont even return an email when you ask them a question.

There has been one study that suggests a link between certain types of cancer and working night shift. There will have to be way more studies before anyone is going to start handing out cancer checks.

Congress sets the pay rates through OPM. We could negotiate for double time if you work outside 8-4, but the bureau couldn't legally pay it.

I am just a Joe, but I believe that this issue would be out of the hands of the union as the differential pays are directed through OPM and if I am correct, are law. So perhaps, letters to Congress and the House might be in order. Do the research and put together a template and post it on here.
