[CAN-ON] Continued overtime without extra pay or time in lieu

I am the only non manager on my team. I am continually working over time each week and the expectation is I'm always online to fix any mistakes etc - I work remotely so they assume I'm always available. It's getting to the point where this is impacting my mental health and causing burn out

For example, if my boss has an urgent request the unsaid expectation is I work until 9pm to get it done. We are salaried under a contract where we work 7 hrs a day. Of course sometimes overtime happens and we are expected to be available occasionally for this in our contract but it is now chronic and excessive

My union said that as a non manager any overtime should be communicated in advance and compensated with time in lieu or overtime pay. How to let my manager know this without sounding like "I am not a manager!" And insubordinate etc

Another issue is I have to pick up my kids at 5pm from daycare and can no longer sustain working late and balancing that with taking care of them - maybe frame as a lack of childcare?

I want to cook more and eat less processed food, but find myself reaching for packaged single serve items because I know how many calories are in them, where cooking from home is unpredictable. Does anyone have good websites or cookbooks with low calorie recipes that don't taste like diet food?
