Dave, the way to get support is to show how much your workload has increases over the last several years. Hopefully you have the numbers to show. Just asking for another person without the historical numbers is not going to work very well. For instance, it makes it much more helpful if you can show your workload has increased, say,  20 percent over the last 5 years - that would indicate you are reaching the end of the rope with current personnel.

Subject: Staffing/Workload

I'm trying to convince my director that we need an extra body (the live kind) to handle our workload.  If anyone can share their volume and staffing levels so I can compare with our's I would appreciate it.  Currently we are fully staffed with 12 techs and 5 lab asst.  We have techs working 3 shifts starting Sunday night thru Saturday afternoon.  Any help would be appreciated.  Our volume is:

Cases - 48,000 per year
Blocks - 140,000
H&E slides - 180,000
Special Stains - 28,000
Immunos - 10,000
Enzymes - 4000
