In Their Own Words
We have historically utilized the uniform hiring practice protocols for hiring hourly union workers. In addition to this we have utilized several temporary services to assist with this process on a temp to hire basis as needed.
In January of 2018 a new hiring model was introduced for the union hourly employees. The process now utilizes Ascend Staffing for all plant employees with the exception of maintenance. It was also agreed that Ascend Staffing would staff a full-time employee responsible for onboarding all new hires at the our plant.
