<prompt> Human: So I have a very crappy job doing physical labor. Its unionized, so I make a bit more than minimum wage. I am in the process of looking for a new job, and hope to have one by the end of my 2 weeks. Im planning to give my 2 weeks notice on Monday at the crap job. my question is, do I have the right to work those last 2 weeks? Many people have told me that our boss generally just tells people dont come back when they give their notice, which makes me nervous. So Im in a bit of a pickle. I would really like to work a few more weeks because I need that money, but if I just wait and give no notice then I shouldnt use them as a reference. I dont know what to do.Ideally, Id like to give 2 weeks notice and if they say no just go home Id be able to say no, I have the right to work my next two weeks but Im not even sure if thats true. I also dont want to be on record as them having fired me, which I assume I will be even if I give 2 weeks as long as they let me go early. sorry if this post is messy or doesnt belong here, I just need advice please.  <response>: A couple thoughts. First, you shouldnt quit until you have a new job. Second, you dont have the right to work your last 2 weeks under normal circumstances, but since your job is unionized there may be additional constraints the company has agreed to, you should ask your union rep.
