There were 14 plants, however, with two shifts in operation and one plant running on a three-shift basis. The plants having more than one work shift were for the most part plants manufacturing full-fashioned hosiery. SCHEDULED HOURS Scheduled hours of plants Weekly hours The scheduled work week on the day shift in the hosiery plants ranged from 48 to 54 hours. While the 48 hour week was scheduled most frequently, almost as many plants scheduled a 54 hour week. The plants manufacturing full-fashioned hosiery tended to have shorter scheduled hours than the plants manufacturing seamless hosiery. Of the 14 plants scheduling a 48 hour week, nine were full-fashioned hosiery plants, three were seamless, and two were plants producing both types of hosiery. Only one full-fashioned hosiery plant had a weekly schedule of 54 hours. There was rarely any difference in the scheduled hours for men and women on the day shift. In plants where a night shift was operated, the scheduled hours were usually longer on the night shift than on the day shift. The scheduled hours in nine of the 13 night shifts exceeded 54 hours. Work on the night shift was done entirely by men. Scheduled hours on the middle shift were short, work on this shift usually started in the afternoon and closed before midnight. Table 8.
