A new 24/7 schedule at the Galena Mine started Sunday
with an aim toward increased productivity.
That’s the word from Mine Manager Steve Long.
The miners will be working rotating 11.5-hour shifts with a
5-4-4-5-5-5 schedule that breaks down as follows:
five days on/four days off, four days on/five days off, and
five days on/five days off.
The new schedule will result in miners working 14 days in
a 28-day period.
It guarantees the employees 80 hours per pay period,
maximizes the number of weekends and maintains a
healthy work-life balance, said Long, who has been in
his present job one and a half years.
The new schedule is a bit of paradigm shift, he added.
“We expect to realize some productivity improvements as a
result of more shifts per week, and
better utilization of equipment.
“The miners will be focusing more on higher grade areas of
the mine as well, and the mine will be open
seven days a week instead of five.”
There are 380 employees at the Galena Mine, including
80 salaried employees.
The hourly employees consist of mill and maintenance
workers and miners.
