In this type of union environment, if you work a certain minimum (say five minutes extra) it automatically would be rounded to the nearest 15 min (up). So on the odd shift, not a big deal, and most wouldn’t bother claiming it, but the work to rule would stretch a 2-3 min extra to 5 min to get the extra 15 min OT pay, and over a year could really add up!
I love how people are looking at a nurse making 500k thinking "she's screwing the company on 10 minutes for overtime".

Newsflash: That's incredibly small potatoes compared to the hundreds of hours he/she would have to work to reach this level of earnings. I don't care how much you abuse OT you'd never reach that level.

This is a staffing problem, not an individual problem. Wow.
