Joe Merchant is wasting his breath trying to convince us to vote yes since he pledged months ago to vote yes for anything. That makes his opinion on the specifics irrelevant. He would have voted yes anyhow.

I'm voting no. This is insulting. I calculate a 20% loss in direct pay over the life of the contract. And I hope nobody like to go grab a beer on the overnight... that's one of the few remaining perks of this job. Now you'll check your messages at the bar at 2300 and find out your 1500 show has become 0900. And you're disciplined if you don't self notify and accept it.
