Let's say time travelers formed a labor union. Yeah, you read that right. With time being wibbly-wobbly, what sort of rules would they have? Overtime for paradox repair? Benefits include free eras of choice for vacation? Write about the inaugural meeting of the Time Travelers Union and how they go about standardizing the chaos of chronal navigation.

From a legal perspective, they'd have to have really concrete definitions for what constitutes 'overtime.' Imagine arguing over pay for what feels like 40 hours but actually spans across four centuries. Comp time could get pretty complicated too—do they accumulate it every century or era they work in?

LOL! Mandatory 'Do Not Disturb' timelines for resting without accidentally running into other versions of yourself. And what about a pension plan based on years traveled, not years worked? You could retire after 30 subjective years but have centuries of experience!

As a union rep, the first thing they'd need is a no-retaliation clause for whistle-blowing on unauthorized history changes. Plus, hazard pay seems like a must—messing with time streams has got to be risky business. And don't even get me started on retirement benefits. Do you retire in the era you started or where you've lived the longest? Headache material right there.

First off, the dues would have to be paid in a currency that doesn't fluctuate with the timeline—can you imagine the accounting nightmare? And I bet they'd have this big rule about not dating your ancestors or descendants. No making the family tree a family circle, y'know?
