Packard To
Return To 48
Hour Week
VINO Exemption
Expires Today

Employees of the Packard
Motor Car Co., Alexis Rd. who
have been on 40 hour work
week since early this month on
an exemption granted the COM
pany by the War Manpower
Commission due to material
shortage will return to the 4S
hour week next Monday.
Packard workers who have
been hard hit by the 40 hour
week have written many letters
of protest asking a return to the
48 hour week.
The exemption which was
granted early this month was
allowed the COMPANY for two
week period after the company
management with the agreement
of the Union asked for adoption
of the 40 hour week. Workers
who had been laid off due to the
material shortage occasioned by
the Detroit Packard strike have
been returned to work and
there is prospects that many still
off their jobs will be returned
according to F. w. Fennell,
Packard company assistant per-
sonnel officer.
Packard management had re-
quested 80 day exemption
from the 48 hour VINO require
ment; but when the Commission
was informed that the flow of
materials between Detroit and
Toledo would probably reach
normal in about two weeks,
granted the request for the two
week period. This will end to-
day according to VINO officials.
Packard Unit officers of Local
II, UAW-CIO say that in the
event the company seeks any
further extension of the exemp-
ton that they will protest to the
VINO.
