That's the main concern that most have with the whole buy back of off days. I am pretty sure that if ATNS had come with a blank sheet and asked for names to volunteer working their off days all but a few would have agreed. Now they want to force it and that's one of the reasons why the ATC's are sticking to their guns.
Other reasons include the lack of visible planning and common sense.

S-urvey (yesterday another survey questionnaire to complete which apparently this time management will discuss with us once completed)
As for the admin staff not working I cannot see why they should also not be included. Major matches will be played after hours and if there is a grounding issue or a suspended account this cannot wait for normal office hours to be resolved. At negotiations we are time and time reminded that ATNS is not only an ATC company. Funny how when the chips are down it's only the ATC's that have to "go the extra mile to make SWC2010 a success!!".
