The Rule will have widespread effect throughout the industry.  The rule was intended to force utiltities to become less dependent on contingent workers and overtime.  More hiring of house folks to force down OT and fatigue.

Less whining...look at the big picture.  If you have never been to college and have been making >$100K taking smears on OT you need to look around.  1/8 of the nation is unemployed...capable, well-educated people around the world are seeking work here.  The 6x12, per diem earning, 3-in-3-out frisker holder has seen his day.  Nukes are staffing up, growing their own, sharing resources, and deploying technology.  The future is here, and Bubba Breakroom is history.

I would like to know any plants where you can be a "Bubba breakroom" or 3in 3 out frisker holder. . . (give specific examples)or why we should we be thankful with 1/8th of the nation out of work and we are not.   How many that are out of work doing jobs that are not needed has no impact on us.   An attorney laid off from a law firm won't apply for a jr. tech, no matter how desparate he/she is.  The companies are already milking the recession excuse to the max and what happens?   People don't show up as the last outage season demonstrated.  In spite of Obama and the democrats socialist agenda, good old capitalism still sets the prices in our industry.   Let them try to pay us minimum wage and see who shows up, or the qualifty of the remaining workers.  Whine all you want if it works for you, the squeaky wheel gets the oil, you must speak up enough to get the ear of those who make decisions on trying to screw us.   "Maybe if the hard left keeps trying to shove things down our throats the "Don't tread on me" flag may make a comeback, and we will all start squeaking louder and in organized fashion.

Just finish the outage at Wolf Creek, and we were working 4 on 1 off. The reason, that is what the house techs were working. Until we hit critical path then at the stroke of a pen it was 14 days straight, then back to 4 on 1 off.

Ya know after reading all this stuff about shedules it all really boils down to the stroke of a pen.  Think about it, all someone has to do is say we need x stuff done and in this time frame so make it happen.  They can make up work hour rules all day long, but when the stuff hits the fan the schedule is at the whim of the work.  Ive worked so many different schedules and each one of them has been changed to fit the needs of the work.
