Last Minute Job Notifications

What happens when a big named company like Cessna Aircraft tells you that you're working without a 24 hour notification? Well, for my husband... It's either go in or fear that he'll be let go.

Whether it's truly legal for a company to make you work mandatory overtime with less than a 24 hour notification, I really don't know. In my own personal experience from working at Amazon, notification of at least 24-48 hours was required. This is because if you have a doctor's appointment or anything else that is scheduled on an expected day off, you weren't scrambling at the last minute to re-schedule the appointment or be slapped with a late cancellation fee.

Well unfortunately, that's exactly what happened to us. We had planned to head to the doctor later today. But, since my husband just found out he'll have to go in to work, we had to scramble. He did tell his boss he had to go to the Doctor, so his boss is expecting him to be a little late for work tomorrow. Now whether they will take time from his vacation hours for this is something we'll have to face if it happens.

Even worse is the fact that he'll be working 6 days a week from now on and until further notice. I can see some major bitching in the near future. My husband will be going from having 3 days off to pretty much having a half day off. Things are not going to go well. But he chose night shift, so it's something that he knew was a possible problem.

The bad thing is, he's considering working weekends only. In reality this means he'll go from 10 hour days to 12 hour days and work 3 days a week instead of the usual 4. Unfortunately he's forgotten mandatory overtime and I remember when a close friend of ours was working that shift. He ended up working 6 days a week.

The only added bonus to not having weekends off is, I'll be working weekends as well. Which is fine with me because I could use the money. Plus it will make my husband less of a grouch since he seems to think that if he doesn't get any days off, then neither should I.lol Men.

Is Cessna Aircraft Risking the Lives and Limbs of their Employees?

One of the things I can't understand when it comes to Cessna Aircraft employees, is why they are not made to wear steel toe boots in certain departments. I know for a fact they are not because I know a lot of people who work there.

The bad news is, there are many dangers on the job there. Take for instance, The Mustang Line. They work with sheet metal. Sheet metal is heavy and if dropped on a foot, it can do some serious damage.

Now I do know they have to wear eye and ear safety gear, so why don't they regulate foot safety as well? I understand not every department at Cessna requires safety boots, but I can guarantee a few areas that should and are not.

In a sense this worries me because I remember when Emerson Electric's past employees demanded safety equipment and were refused. The only time Emerson Electric issued any type of safety equipment was when inspection rolled around. Yeah, really nice.

I doubt Cessna will ever take things that far, but they might want to look into further safety equipment since employees are risking their lives and limbs for them.
