the problem i am seeing is, the potential for another round of lay off's if the economy faulter's again. not too many people would like to start a job today, only to be fired by the end of the month.
given that any truck maker takes orders for new vehicles is not a guarantee of work to not only come, but to be steady.
all it takes is one BIG recall, then sales will plummet.
now for so many to fail a drug test, may not surprise me at all...
not showing up for an interview does surprise me, but if most of those are on welfare/unemployment and that gravy train is going for a long ride, some think, why not take it all now, and worry about finding a job later..???
as far as the background check failures, that does not surprise me either.
i think freightliner will find what they need sooner or later, and if not, then i'm almost certain that both shifts hours will be extended, making for over time.
at least that way, when things tank again, there won't be so many workers getting fired off.
for the former employee's that got canned, and do not want to return.....
maybe some of the reason's, i have already mentioned, were thought of, in thier decisions.
