My boss called me once, at 9 PM. I went in to fix a problem. I was there until 1 AM. I was fine with it, because it happened once. In 13 years. Yeah, sure,

My boss called me once, at 9 PM. I went in to fix a problem. I was there until 1 AM. I was fine with it, because it happened once. In 13 years. Yeah, sure, I can come in for an emergency. (Also, my boss was already there when I arrived, and was still there when I left.) There's an emergency every other day? Nope. That's a management issue. Hire some people to work those hours, or fix things so that "emergencies" quit happening.

That seems to be pretty much the issue with the ASLEF/RMT strikes on the UK railways at the moment. At least in the sense that "emergency" means we'd have to cancel a train if someone doesn't work that overtime.
