We don't have that in Arizona. They can work the guys 40 hours in two days and not have to pay overtime (they've come rather close to doing this). Also, only working hours count towards the 40: vacation does not. Work through Thanksgiving? Well, that just sucks. Like you say, CA is a lot more employee friendly.
That said, you're right that they avoid OT like the plague. That's what made me speculate that they were already running at maximum capacity and had to do something to boost that for a while. But yeah, it does happen. I've been there to support an 18 hour shift. Not fun.
