I’m not union. I’m an IT contractor. I’m purely hourly and do get time and a half for overtime. But I make roughly three times what these guys make.

That’s the thing. Overtime is trading your life for money. And even though it “seems” like a lot, in the end, it isn’t. It’s better to work your 8 hours (less if possible) and take back your life. Overtime is good for emergency funds or paying for a vacation, but if you start depending on it you have become a slave. An indentured slave, but a slave nonetheless.
