Under your circumstances, if you are already in the middle of days off (day #2 of 4 you said above), you are not obligated to the company and they cannot touch you regardless of movable or immovable days. Technically there is not liability on your part to the company and they have no means of contacting you (i.e. a call block). DON'T ANSWER YOUR PHONE FROM SCHEDULING or at all. Screen your calls.
EWRflyr, thanks for the clarification.
One of the LUAL furloughees stated that he got called in the middle of his days off and answered the phone. He was told that he was obligated to take the assignment but told them that was unable to be in position in such a short timeframe. He had to speak to someone on the matter after the fact - the agreed upon workaround was to not answer the phone.
While not answering the phone is a solution, it shouldn't matter if you answer the phone and turn down an assignment while on days off.
Perhaps I have some details incorrect (likely, especially with second/third hand information) but it sounded like if they talk to you on your days off, you can be forced to accept an assignment.
