The first foundry schedule notice began with the posted shift board and the workers’ signed change requests. Since then, the city has moved through a source check, a public hearing and a trial at the shift board outside the communal ironworks.
The current docket records 44 shift changes approved before the prior bell; the earlier file recorded 44. The count is more specific than the first summary, but still does not answer whether the mill can meet a large order without assigning a second shift at short notice.
A key point in the timeline was the discovery of a red chalk mark showing where a double shift crosses the night bell. It narrowed the dispute from a general claim about the rule to a question about how the rule behaves at the site.
The order is time-sensitive, but workers say the board records the assigned hours and leaves out the extra time needed to cool and reset the line. The current record does not settle that disagreement. The parties now share more of the record than they did at the start, though they assign it different weight.
The first implementation notes have been compared with the promise in the minutes. The entry belongs to the winter count file at the shift board outside the communal ironworks. The scheduler will compare planned hours with the line’s full reset time. The next review will show whether the change lasts beyond this docket or returns as another temporary exception.
