dependable on-time service on a variety of

touch with the people it serves. Such a line is

WORKING SCHEDULE

“When any employee on
continuous operations has a
scheduled work week of 5
days at work and 2 days off,
his first scheduled day off
shall be considered as the
6th day of his work week,
and his 2nd scheduled day
off, whether or not succes-
sive, as the 7th day of his
work week. When such work-
ing schedule contains a reg-
ularly recurring work week
of 6 days at work and 1-day
off, such scheduled day off
shall be considered as the
7th day of his work week
and the day immediately
preceding as the 6th day of
his work week.”

It should be noted that, ac-
cording to a recent report,
the Rubber Workers at Good-
rich Company’s Akron plant
have voted to abandon the 6-
day 36-hour work week es-
tablished at Akron Rubber
Company during the depres-
sion to spread available jobs.

The vote to. switch to five
8-hour days followed company
assurances that there would
be no layoffs, and that there
would be substantial invest-
ment in new equipment for
the plants. Over 5,000 em-
ployees are affected. Their
decision is expected to influ-
ence employees at other rub-
ber plants.

most exclusively cash wages
