Yeah. I hear you. But, when you’re already making $40+ an hour, time and half makes it $60+, and Sunday double time makes it $80+.

I’m sure you can see the allure. You can make a lot of problems go away with that kind of money.

And that’s really the key. It should cost them a lot to put us in those scenarios. That’s why you need a good strong union.
