Owner will dock workers for Bush's visit to Neb. About 340 workers at an Omaha plastics factory will lose pay or have to work next Saturday to make up for time lost during a visit by President Bush today to promote his ''jobs and growth plan,'' their boss said this weekend.
Brad Crosby, president of Airlite Plastics Co., said about 170 of his workers will lose a full day's pay and another 170 will be docked for part of their pay for today unless they make up the time they spend attending Bush's speech.
Airlite, which will shut down for its first shift and part of the second shift to provide a photogenic backdrop for Bush's speech, will be the afternoon stop on a two-day swing by Bush to pressure senators to support a large tax cut as the measure heads to the Senate floor.

President Bush Addresses Omaha Crowd Three hours before Bush arrived, Airlite president Brad Crosby announced that he had reversed a requirement that plant employees needed to make up any time they took off to see the president.
Crosby instead said about 510 hourly employees would get paid regardless of whether they work, attend Bush's speech or choose to take the day off.
"This decision, we feel, is in the best interest of our employees and our company," Crosby said in a written statement.------------------------------------------- posted 7:20 PM :: reference link ::
