There is discussion in the works for the AGCO workforce to move to 32-hour work weeks, starting when calendar rolls over to 2025. The reason for the cut back in hours is the downward trend in agricultural equipment buying. Local USW 11228 President Ray Salas said farmers just aren’t buying the equipment, and the company is looking to save costs. “The union hasn’t agreed to this,” Salas said. “We’re negotiating it, because our contract is for a 40-hour work week. There has to be a stipulation that 32-hour work weeks are full time so we can keep the insurance.”
