What is the slang word union workers would use to describe someone who works overtime for free?

I know union workers use a lot of slang words like "Scab" . I was wondering if one exist that describes someone who is a union worker who routinely works off the clock? While we're at it, is there a word for a union worker who does jobs that is not his or her responsibility?

Update:

Actually union workers are doing this, which is precisely why I'm asking. There is a employee at my job who very rarely takes lunch breaks, and although she is off the clock she continues working.

    Union workers do not do this, as they get paid hourly. On the other end, the company would not allow it. An off the clock employee who would get injured on the job would present all types of problems for the company, the insurance company and the employee.
