I can only thank my lucky stars I'm in the last 1/3 of a very secure career with a defined benefits pension plan. As a matter of fact, we have a tough time keeping people around. They move on to other parts of the company once they decide they don't want to work shift anymore. We're hiring 40 more this coming year to try to staff the shift crews, and that will barely do it.
