It's very simple, stop doing ANY OT and that way you'll never have to worry about it again.

In my office OT is advertised and allocated by hourly aggregate it's worked for the 20+ years I've been there. Get your unit Rep to insist that OT is allocated on a fair basis where the OT is advertised and the person who has the lowest hourly aggregate gets the overtime, and if management don't do it have an overtime ban.

You could try putting in a grievance, because the DOM is showing nepatism. Just be careful that there is a definate pattern, before doing so. Overtime levels can be checked, and if you're right. The DOM will be in trouble. :hmmmm
