Also something at was noted that Toronto Montreal Vancouver are the main hubs and very expensive places to live. So you can live outside of those areas but that is just adding commuting time.

And those are all really good and fair points, I was just giving historical context as to why both the union and management were ok with this unpaid work for a very long time. The union is totally in the right for fighting for all work is paid work.
