Heroic? How about "nuts"?
What were you doing on December 12, 2003? Quebec border services officer Yves Julien was working an overtime 11-hour shift, plus 3 extra hours, for which he received, respectively, time-and-a-half and double-time. During the three-hour stint, he spent $9 on a meal, and he put in for reimbursement. Gov't said no, no meal money on the job, and as to the fact that it's an extra shift, Julien was already getting generous pay. Following almost five years of meetings, paperwork, lawyers, rulings and counter-rulings, Julien finally won. Here's your damn $9. The Globe & Mail

Looks like O' Canada did pick up the tab for both sides of the issue:
"Mr. Julien's lawyer, Amarkai Laryea from the Public Service Alliance of Canada"

So I paid for this guy to fight 5 years to get his 9 dollars? Where's my cut?
