My company is requiring us to travel to HQ for an all day meeting. They will not pay drive time, only mileage. For some of us, it’s a four hour drive each way. Is it even legal to require you to attend something but won’t pay you to get there?

Oh…sorry… i wasn’t asking about MY contract. I was asking about OP’s contract. Also, I don’t have a shop steward. I generally know where to look in the CBA, and if I still have a question, I just call our Contract Admin/Compliance office.

Is this common for them? Sounds like when Swanson called everyone in and announced going out of business. Cut checks and sent them on their way.

Depending on the state you're in, that could be illegal.  Check your state labor laws.

Hate to tell you but you will be unemployed when you drive back home from the meeting.

While not pointing out the obvious, not sure why anyone would work for such an outfit. Don't see it as an inconvenience. See it as a sign... Let your feet do the talking and bail. Find a better employer...

is it legal to require you use your own time, in furtherance of a business, and be uncompensated for it
