Guess again. Salary gets docked a day's pay.

I heard that from a buddy of mine that is Salary @ Sikorsky, I almost fell outta my chair when we were talking about it. I stand corrected.

I hear about employees doing nothing all the time there, from the employees themselves, even for overtime pay. Its a game to see who can do the least, who can wander the buildings the most to look busy, or who can find the best place to sleep. Maybe its time for the government to do a little research on the amount of people they have working there, and what they actually do. If employees actually worked, you could probably cut labor force in half for efficiency.

I worked at Sikorsky when I was in college back in 1968. Nice to see they are still sleeping in the bathrooms and the helicopter equipment bays! Used to hear guys snoring in the bathroom stalls etc.
Ha! Ha! Ha!

[Sikorsky Sucks]

Record profits and pay for management while the workers get a pay freeze, unpaid furlough days and layoffs.

Typical.

A crap organization with a toxic culture.

the jam up contractors would keep it going, best thing since sliced coke

So What day does the Troy Contract get renewed for 2009 and are they still going to be giving out bonuses or is that out of the picture?

JustMe, Yes, Salary can be docked for furlough days, one of few execptions to full weeek pay DOL allows for the exempt.

The unions will bring that place down like they did on all the manufacturing companies that once make Connecticut the attraction like AVCO, ACCO,American Fabric, and so many that Bridgeport is now a ghost town, and the only business it's DRUGS..

I feel sorry for people who lose their jobs, then their homes. Go in Peace, and Praise the LORD, Amen.

True, Bernie, I do think, having dealt with the parent corp, they are unlikely to want to ever deal with another strike, so expect them to shift stuff out of Ct en masse.
