    At this point, your continued employment rests solely on what your union can do. Probably a demotion to a non-driving position, likely with a reduction in pay is probably the best you can hope for now. I think when this happened, you tried to keep it quiet, and now you are going to have to face the consequences for that choice. Be thankful you have a union; for probably 95% of the drivers here in the same predicament they'd just be fired, and probably better than half would never drive commercially again.
