Shell for instance says no more than 16 hours straight and must have 8 hours off and then if you want to go over 21 days you need to get a variance from the OIM. I just can't imagine that they would be working everyone to death at these plants
This is pretty much a basic rule. It isn't that hard for a company to allow a variance. However, they only allow them when it works in their favor.
If USW NOB workers paid percentage of salary to the union, rather than base rate, this contract would likely not be held up right now.

I know. It is very hard for me to believe they are striking just for this reason. It is always about money and I'm sure this is the case this time too. Like others have said, seems like they are throwing away a lot of money right now striking for a couple weeks.
