I dont work in a hotel, or a hospital, farm and some airports are not 24 hours and dont have to be either... no one demands airlines to come in between 11am and 6pm the airlines choose to and the airport chooses to be open. I dont consider myself to work in tourism, were a low life ground handling agent stacking bags for a living.
we are covered by working time directives normaly, ie 11 hours legaly between shifts.
and if your 12 on 12 off thats more than a 48 hours week and an 8 week cycle with 6.5 cycles a year, and i hope youve calculated up exactly how many hours you are actually paid for, we somehow manage to work more hours a year which we are not getting paid for.
