Quote:It's the norm for some of us and "management" don't like it when you still ask for it because others accept it as they don't want to "rock the boat" or be thought difficult.
Well, that is sad, and I'm sorry that this is the 'norm' for you. I certainly wouldn't waste 4 hours a day - 20 hours a week - 80 hours a month - of my life getting up at dawn's crack and getting home well into the evening and not get paid for it. If we continually act like the ground down martyrs of misery then the 'management' you speak of will continue to treat people in a way that they expect to be treated.
Although as BAJR says, there is more to this situation than meets the eye, so I hope it gets resolved and the staff are treated fairly and with respect as any decent employer should do (and before you start, yes, some do not, of course).
