Some people need to get a few more hours each month. Or in the case of commuters it might be better to grab a 2 day out of initial open time to avoid getting stuck with some lousy non-commutable day line or something.

Before yall go calling everyone a scab think about some peoples situations out there that might need 5 or 10 more hours on the check.

I agree dont go grabbin 5 more trips or anything but dont jump to the scab gun too quickly.
Not picking up an extra 5 hours a month will not result in you losing your house and not be able to be able feed your family because you are out of a job. Do you think my daughter or son will understand when I tell them I lost my job because my company can get away with less people on the payroll because selfish people like you will pick up a few extra hours to help the company? You are one selfish dude. Good luck to all the furlough guys and gals.
