What struck me as the biggest red flag while reading your example is that your friend’s wife used a regular 8 hour shift as her example when to my knowledge most nurses aren’t scheduled for 8 hour shifts.

If there's one thing I know from working in union environments (Well, any workplace really), it's that most people didn't actually know how the system worked. I've had to explain something as simple as pay period cut off to otherwise very smart people
