Here's what I learned happened last night.
Wednesday at approx. 10 am something major broke in Prime (paint) It had something to do with the line. So of course, they had to wait for clearance and a confined space order. 4 hours later they started, but at the end of their shift, the company asked them to work overtime. Nope.
So now a second confined space is ordered for the new crew. 4 hours later, the new crew started working, but in a different area than the first crew becuase they didn't have time to share information between shifts. This happened again when the afteroon shift left and midnights came in. Same scenerio, no to overtime, won't work this weekend, another order for confined space came in at 5 am. Long and short. We got paid to do SFA all night.
And for those of you who don't understand why we have the battle royal at work, Ford is taking away work from the skilled trades and reducing manpower that is very neccesary for us to run. This was a classic example. They have taken away all their overtime and are starting to sub out jobs in the plant to companies that have no clue. We had a guy walk into a booth this week from STATE with a 12' ladder that was still electrified. He was damn lucky.

TEAM PITA Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.
One day I will rule the world. For now, I have to settle for this place.
