How can anyone be forced to give up a Day Off?, it's absurd. The LOCO I work for presently get upset if they believe you are 'refusing a duty' but the whole idea that I'm going to be in trouble with the management if I refuse to give up my off-duty is unheard of and fills me with horror. Is there no protection in the 'agreement for service' type document?
How often does this sort of thing happen anyway?
