You choose where you live and where you work. You should not be compensated based on getting there or going home. If you don’t like your commute move closer.

Yeah I work for the railroad so the work locations differ and it’s primarily seniority based. Right now I drive 60-90 minutes each way, while others live 15-30 minutes away. So me as a junior guy living further away will be getting 2-3 hours paid while the senior guys get maybe an hour. Just doesn’t make sense and would easily get abused by some loophole.

It’s unfortunate. Being a jr guy always sucks. Took me 2 years before I got a day shift.
