Overtime/holiday pay where you work?

Wow - all you folks with the nice overtime pay.....

Up until a year ago when I had to stop working, worked 70 hours a week including Saturdays and Sundays (alternate ones off). While I would get paid an extra 8 hours for working a holiday, it was mandatory to work every holiday. And all this working for a US government entity. No such thing as overtime pay. Can you guess what business I was in?
 
Salary. No paid holidays, no paid vacation. Annual increase in work hours with no increase in pay.
Mandatory after hours meetings unpaid. 20 minute lunch break interrupted by mandatory
conferences. Care to guess?
 
24/7 operation so no consideration given for scheduling on weekends or holidays, but these are the pay adjustments.

8hrs Sunday = 10hrs straight time(time and a quarter)
8hrs overtime = 12hrs straight time(time and a half)
8hrs holiday scheduled = 20hrs straight time(double time and a half)
8hrs holiday unscheduled call out = 28hrs straight time(triple time and a half)

Holidays that fall on a person's off days contribute to the 40hr week, so make the last shift/s of the week automatic overtime.
If you call off on a scheduled work day before or after a holiday that falls on your off days, you do not get paid for the holiday.
No comp time, no sick days, just vacation based on years served. I am maxed at a month paid vacation as this is my 15th year.
