NRC limits workers to 48 hrs/wk

<< < (13/13)

Roll Tide:
How about this excerpt from a recent news release:


    The IG also found that:

        * Wackenhut routinely worked officers in excess of the 60 hr/week maximum
      at the Y-12 National Security Complex and some worked more than 72 hours
      per week in some cases. Working excessive overtime affects the ability
      or willingness of some officers to complete required physical fitness
      training.

Just thought we could use more gasoline on this fire....

alphadude:
no a refuel outage is not a process failure.. its a routine...that is normally planned for... and your question is?

SloGlo:
the prob for the business in the midpoint of the fuel cycle is the reliance upon trained workers to work for half a year per year and not receive a full years worth of compensation for this exercise.  should the business realign the corporate mentality towards the independent, i.e. itinerant, workers with a compensation package reflective of full time commitment then the question of hours worked per week will be a needless exercise.  until such time, the amount of hours worked will be counted upon by the workers involved since the weeks not worked will be counted as a fiscal balance.  there have been many models of the worker/total compensation put into play in the u.s. domestic market and the international labor market.  unfortunately for the workers in the theatre, there has not been a consistency in the u.s.   and that is where this problem is being addressed, is it not?
