Hey Dougie......
Believe what you wish but turn over is HUGE and drugs run rampant in Elkhart
Bonus work is a cute PC word....means the same thing PIECE WORK
Piece Work NEVER promotes quality
Piece Work is one reason for turnover rate.
Piece Work requires very little training and most 'skill' is learned on the factory floor.
Maybe its time for Union influence
X2. Everything the industry does is guaranteed to promote poor quality.

i guess i made a mistake when i replaced the fill connector on ours,, i don't even have a hose between the fill on the outside, and the tank. i managed to get the outside fill opening to fit directly into the fresh water holding tank, just one gear clamp..

Sorry, but RV factory jobs are specialized. They do NOT move people around from dept's. They do NOT have time to move and train people for specific dept's. The production line moves too fast to wait for a novice to get up to speed. Doug
Piece Mill work requires NO TRAINING
And majority of workers in RV MFG Factories in Elkhart work 'Piece Mill'
Biscuit, you do not know what you are talking about. Bonus systems are set up to indeed make them work faster, but if you think YOU or just anybody could just walk in and start building the units without training, you are nuts. I WORKED in Elkhart for 5 years building RV's and you have to KNOW what you are doing. The nice thing about RV building unlike Auto building is, they have NO unions. The Dept workers determine if someone stays working. Don't pull your weight, THEY make sure you are gone. They will not allow lazy people to pull them down. Bonus or Piece Rate, same principle applies. I just got back from Jayco a few months ago, and am thankfull I am an RV Tech instead of a Line worker. The pace is incredible and yes they make mistakes, but not caused by lack of skill. Doug
