I was at the negotiating table for our union. We negotiated that there had to be at least 10 hours off between shifts. If there wasn't then 4 hours of the scheduled shift had to be at time and a half, whether or not it took us over 40 hours for the week.

It stopped us from being scheduled from evening shift (off at 11 am) to daylight (coming in at 7 am). I guess we were some of the first ones around who understood "clopening".
