Actually, this is something our union mentors can really help out with. So fewer people get snagged.
Very true Elevation. With a bit of seniority and contract knowledge you should be able to avoid the trap. The problem can arise when you don't have enough seniority to bid enough lines and then you can get assigned by "system." Also there is still the misapprehension that you are entitled to 7 days off after 17 days of duty. New hires are very vulnerable to this abuse.
