Sounds like it. The pay sounded the only incentive to put up with it; now that element is taken away, why struggle on in a place that could go bust?

Bet most of those hard-working lads could turn their hands to something better if they believed in themselves.

That’s it. Fair play to the lads who can stick it, but I fear loads are ‘stuck’ due to the wages and so on.

That’s just what we are all suggesting, they won’t listen to that they never do. It’s all set in stone and that’s the way it will stay.

They offered shorter weeks not that long ago and it got knocked back by the majority of people as they thought it was a conspiracy to make them do more overtime.

They will put overtime on every day Mon-Thurs and a Saturday (until it goes proper tits up) 4 day week isn’t gonna happen mate. It’s all been done.

I can’t remember them offering shorter weeks at all, some Einstein suggested longer shifts during the week for an early finish on a Friday but the shift times were a joke. If they put 4 day weeks on they would need to do 12 hour shifts to get their output at 57 cars per hour without a Saturday on. No chance of that.

They need to change the shifts, due to working time regulations. 48hour working week maximum. Can't do 1 hour overtime Monday to Thursday and a Saturday it breaks the law.

Well we do that now and have done for years but it still isn’t 48 hours so they get away with it. Any other job aye, production line no.

Don't think that rule applies if you volunteer to work overtime

You’re right and wrong. Overtime is compulsory.

Oh one of those companies. Im guessing they "ask" you to work overtime but the asking means theres only one answer?......

There's lads at our place regularly work over 50 hours a week but it's all voluntary.

Seems like a no-brainer. How do things work over there; is the stuff just lying dormant, so they could work a couple of extra hours? Thought Line 2 might take over or something. Nae idea how it works.

If it's doable, at a guess, I'd say they don't want people to be too comfortable. Reducing numbers costs money, loads of people thinking "Sod this for a fleet of Qashqais" and f***ing off costs them nothing.

Big business shows its true colours when shit hits the fan and all this caring, sharing DEI shite gets forgotten about.

Can't force you but it's expected that you opt out of the working time directive, also it's an average over 3 months I think so most people would rarely hit that.

Rumoured there on about 4 day working week 10 hour shifts plus an hours overtime and instead of sat overtime it would move to Friday.
Still under the 48 hour week as overtime isn’t counted as working week

It was encouraged to sign out of that when I was working for a now collapsed construction firm what must be 15 years ago now.
