13. you're right, it's only 5-13% mandated additional time for no pay.
Edited on Wed Feb-24-10 08:59 PM by Hannah Bell
plus two additional weeks in the summer paid at below straight time.

which = a 5% increase in days worked over their contracted term, in addition to the 5-13% added hours within the regularly contracted term.

IOW, about a months' worth of added work, all of it for free or less than straight time.
