well, it was bound to happen, i work for a company that supplies parts to 3 honda america factorys. due to the obvious stoppage of japan-made parts/electronics being shipped to the states, honda is cutting back big time, may eventually stop altogether in the near future. effective tommarrow, marysville (ohio) and canada are going to 4 hr shifts. east liberty ohio plant is still running normal schedule but subject to change at any givin moment (E.L.P. builds the civic,crv,element) im not sure about the alabama or indiana plants, we dont ship there so we didnt get information about them. tommarrow i get 8hrs, thurs 1/2 day, closed fri. next weeks schedule to be announced thurs at lunch. some lines might not be affected much, others drastically, all depends on shipment orders. seems like if for the most part there going to 1/2 days both shifts, why not just cut back to one shift and let those who dont make the cut by senoirity go on unemployment? the way it looks now, we will work just enough to not be elegible for unemployment. im pretty sure i wouldnt make the cut to keep working, ive been there 3 years now, the place has been open for 11, and i just started working on day shift back in december. glad i dont have any outstanding debt, just monthly utilities and lot rent. i probly need to start looking for something new, damn-i didnt want to have to do this again.
