Antiwork

Part of a union, but is this common or should I call out? (Regarding time change to standard time – November 6th)

My place of employment is operational for 24 hours so there’s 3 shifts. On November 6th the overnight shift will work 8 hours but only get paid for 7. This is in the contract because they believe it makes up for overnight workers getting paid for 8 hours when it’s daylight savings time, when they only work 7 hours. 3rd shift workers who have been working at this facility for years smartly planned in advance and requested vacation on this day. Consequently, I’m a second shifter so I’ll be forced to work 3rd shift as well for mandatory overtime. I’m 100% going to call out that day because it really just feels disrespectful to have my time wasted like that. I get paid $20 an hour so it’s actually not that huge of the deal, but at the same time, don’t waste my time!
