Error: The text data type cannot be selected as DISTINCT because it is not comparable.

I tried union all it returns duplicates records.

SELECT a.SAmAccountName, a.DOMAIN, a.EmployeeID, a.CustAtr, a.DisplayName, a.UPN, a.Date, a.flag, a.Date_Mod, a.Date_Exp,
a.IsActive, a.OU, b.EmployeeID AS EMPID_PEOPLEVIEW, b.LoginID, b.EMail, b.LastName, b.FirstName, b.MI, b.HireDate, b.TermDate, b.Rehiredate,b.LastModDate, b.Note
FROM dbo.CORP_EMP_IDS AS a INNER JOIN
dbo.PeopleView AS b ON
dbo.zeroExtend(a.EmployeeID) = dbo.zeroExtend(b.EmployeeID)
WHERE (a.IsActive = 1) AND (b.Active_Term = 'T') AND
(a.CustAtr <> '999999') AND
(a.SAmAccountName NOT IN ('yyyDR1', 'yyyDR2', 'yyyDR3', 'yyyEM1',
'yyyEM2', 'yyyEM3', 'yyyMG1', 'yyyMG2', 'yyyMG3', 'yyyHR1', 'yyyMM2', 'yyyMM3', 'yyyMM1', 'yyyHR2', 'yyyHR3', 'yyy2M1', 'yyy2M3', 'yyy2M2',
'yyyVP1', 'yyyVP2', 'yyyVP3'))

union

SELECT a.SAmAccountName, a.DOMAIN, a.EmployeeID, a.CustAtr, a.DisplayName, a.UPN, a.Date, a.flag, a.Date_Mod, a.Date_Exp, a.IsActive, a.OU, b.EmployeeID AS EMPID_PEOPLEVIEW, b.LoginID, b.EMail, b.LastName, b.FirstName, b.MI, b.HireDate, b.TermDate, b.Rehiredate, b.LastModDate, b.Note
FROM dbo.CORP_EMP_IDS AS a INNER JOIN
dbo.PeopleView AS b ON
dbo.zeroExtend(a.CustAtr) = dbo.zeroExtend(b.EmployeeID)
WHERE (a.IsActive = 1) AND (b.Active_Term = 'T') AND
(a.CustAtr <> '999999') AND (a.SAmAccountName NOT IN ('yyyDR1', 'yyyDR2', 'yyyDR3', 'yyyEM1',
'yyyEM2', 'yyyEM3', 'yyyMG1', 'yyyMG2', 'yyyMG3', 'yyyHR1', 'yyyMM2', 'yyyMM3', 'yyyMM1', 'yyyHR2', 'yyyHR3', 'yyy2M1', 'yyy2M3', 'yyy2M2', 'yyyVP1', 'yyyVP2', 'yyyVP3'))
