If this were true, no need for "c" crew in final. Churn the meat grinder, replinish with new hires. Saves a lot of money.

They did it at LAP, all they have to do is put us in launch mode. I got into an argument the other day about this subject. Launch mode is in the contract and with our current order bank I could see this, very possible.

At first glance I'd say this is the dumbest crap I've heard in a long long time. 10.7X6 days a week, 11X5 in body? Thats stupid.
But then i remember our local has no problem with us getting run thru the grinder, hell they even take it upon themselves to volunteer us for 11hr shifts.

They made that schedule while watching Kentucky's tournament game. As soon as the game was over it was like a mass exodus from the union office. They had to call the clean up crew after to get rid of the pizza boxes and the fried chicken buckets.

Launch mode is in the contract and with our current order bank I could see this, very possible.[ They did not do this at LAP as its impossible with 3 crews. No crew can work 6 days. There isnt space for it. A crew can work 5 if they work a sunday & b crew can work 5 if they work a saturday but thats it. They can work 11.5 hours in launch mode & that has happened, but not 6 days a week. They can't even work you every saturday (b crew) or sunday (a crew) in launch mode.

Well, a friend of mine works at LAP and has been their over 20 yrs and when everyone returned from being layed off for a year his department was put in launch mode and had to work 7 days a week 12 hrs a day and buy the way Ccrew didn't start until a few months after their return.

True sir but that was in the shop not final paint etc. And yes we were all in launch mode, we were launching the new escape. They don't just put one dept in launch mode it was the whole plant, but the whole plant didn't work 7 days a week, only the shop. It was so backed up out there with repairs it was crazy. You are right about c crew not starting for a few months, but the rest of the plant wasn't working extra hours because of it only the shop. We ran 50 -100 jobs a day for a long time, they very slowly sped things up & then finally started the C crew. 11.5 is all final can run because the next shift starts then. We only did that for a very short time later on, they couldn't keep the forks charged so they couldn't do it long.

I don't know the so called contract but I'm sure if they want us to work 6 and 7 days a week we will hear THEY CAN DO THAT.

U sub only ran two of the three shifts when we where on a traditional 3 shift schedule. No real need to run 3 now.
