The good thing is that on paper they were not officially terminated until after their anniversary date so the union is trying to help them out. It is pretty messed up. In December-January i had a stretch of 27 days and I worked 24. Example, 6 on 1 off, 6 on 1 off, 6 on 1 off, 6 on. How can you give someone a schedule like that and expect them to not be tired at all? Something has got to give.
