I was a unionized IT worker for about a decade. No such bullshit commenced. The closest thing was demanding that 24x7 oncall be compensated.

In other words, the union went years without negotiating compensation for being on call. My nonunion companies over the years all did compensate.

OP could just as likely mean..."when 24-7 was introduced, they demanded compensation."

24-7 isn't required if your org only depends on system between working hours.
