Goodyear union members in Danville will decide next week whether they want to reconsider mandatory Sunday shifts.

VO-NAT
SUPER=03-Danville/File Tape;


Most members SAY they want another vote on management's request for a continuous operating schedule, but on Tuesday they will decide by secret ballot whether to officially hold another vote.
Last month the union rejected the deal -- maintaining mandatory Sunday shifts would rob them of their overtime pay.
Since that time there have been layoffs and Goodyear has stopped investing in the plant.
