Let's start by saying that I do not condone the Network conditions, so put the knives away...but the statement above is technically incorrect.
AFAIK the Network crews are being paid whatever the amount is, not to work on an OFF day, but for the inconvenience of having their OFF day moved out to a different day which is mutually acceptable to both parties. Thus they are not being paid X to fly and A320 on an OFF day, but being paid X to fly on a rostered OFF day (if they want - it's a choice) and then having the OFF day rescheduled to a different time, such as turning a 2 day weekend into a 3 day weekend et al.
