There's a key issue. Longer service guys tend to make the shorter termers feel insecure and then turn around and hammer the short guys when they work the OT.
It's very easy to say it's principle when you know you're the last one out the door and thus have not only a job but also the most security. If everyone was in the same boat with respect to redundancy then you have a better chance of united action. As it is having different classes of employees due to nothing more than time served is a divisive mechanism that the unscrupulous will seek to manipulate.
