Well, the reason the 10-hour shift is a problem here is that the shift would begin at 6 A.M., and end at 4:30 P.M.. Half the employees can't get to work before 7:15; their transportation won't bring them there earlier. Some folks can't even get here before 8:00 in the morning. So that's two hours of each day already shot.

Second, some folks here have to leave at 3:30 P.M. or later because their transportation won't pick them up later. This means the second half of the line keeps running out of work because the first half line has gone home. On the 8-hour shift, we did 7 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. five days a week, so it wasn't a problem.

The department needs to get a certain quota out before the end of the year, or the contract is void, and everyone is out of the job. That's how an assembly line works.

We're now falling behind because of the 10-hour shift. It's not working.
