Pressure For Free Overtime

[Richard Lewis <tech44writer -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Question for all who do W2 contract work:
   
  Do you ever feel pressured to work overtime for free (off the clock work)?
   
  I felt such pressure at a certain company during a couple of contract assingments.  In talking with a couple of other contractors at the company, they confided to me feeling this pressure also.  
   
  We experienced this in conjunction tight due dates.  Technically, overtime was to be paid, but, it frequently needed to be approved and the approvers were, for a variety of (suspect) reasons, hard to reach (including, in my case, the sudden need by the approver to attend business meetings in Africa).
   
  I just want to know if this is a common situation or not.
