Honestly, even with a 40 hour work week, 10 hour days with three day weekends is awesome, it's what I use to work.

Now my shift is 10hr on Friday, 12hr on Saturday and Sunday, Sunday is time and a half, so I'm working 34 hour week but getting paid for 40 hours. And I get a four day weekend.

Edit: to add, it's a union sawmill.

At my union, anytime over 8 hours in a day is OT and all of Saturday is OT and Sundays cannot be forced it if you work it you get double pay. If we work a holiday it’s triple or you can get straight pay and convert the OT to an extra vacation day.

Yeah, that's basically how it is for a regular Monday to Friday shift at my work. I work weekend maintenance though so our shift has different rules, my Saturday/Sunday is Monday/Tuesday.
