With all of the absenteeism happening in the plant, I'll bet the average worker currently doesn't average 32 hours/week. Don't hear that in the pro-union news.

Sure half of you can work Sunday-Wednesday.

The other half Wednesday-Saturday.

But it’s against federal and union rules to pay you for time not worked(falsification of time). So you will only get 32 hours. Or you can work 4 -10s. You vacation days will count as 10 hours against your PTO.

If benefits are increases moral/worklife balance/etc., then Ford can take away some of your vacation time, since that is what vacation time is all about.

I got suspicious when I just read that not only our German union "IG Metall" pushes for 32h work week (despite the will of its members who, according to an internal poll, would push for more money instead) but now also the UAW. So Ich checked whether maybe the WEF is the source for this idea... And it is. I am quite sure that this billionaire club will not strive for 32h weeks in Mexico, India or China.

NO one is getting a 4 day work week at five days of pay.
NO one.
Next.

It definitely would be an incentive to work for the Company.

32 hours, that would be an increase for most

There is definitely a positive economic argument to the 32 hour work week and one Ford could benefit from. That extra day is going to have more vehicles out there doing road trips.

I prefer. 24 hour work week.

Next, UAW will ask for a 16 hour work week!

"Coworkers may spend time chatting, browsing the internet or engaging with other distractions when they know they have extra hours on the time clock". That's BS, those coworkers will chit chat just as much no matter how many hours they are supposed to work.
