Yeah I read it as stress coming from the unknown and not being able to plan your life. But two points on that.
First unless I am mistaken the only ones who get the call up are those who are rostered on call, so in planning your life you need to expect to be called. So if for example you have something important like a 21st you want to attended you ask not to be on call on that date.
Secondly there is the remuneration side of things, being on call you are either getting paid to do nothing or getting paided an allowance to be at the ready at short notice. Now I could understand someone complaining if there was an expectation they had to be at work with 2 hours notice and didn't get payed. Oh that sounds like my current job.....
