Transferring employees from second to first shift

Q:  In a real production setting, an organization that is adding a new addition to a plant would realistically keep Second Shift personnel on the Second Shift lines until they could be transferred to the new lines on First Shift.  In this simulation, it appears that we have to lay the Second Shift employees off and then hire them for the new First Shift lines by paying for their training.  Is there any way to transfer the productive Second Shift employees to new First Shift lines or do we have to treat them like someone off of the street and effectively rehire them?

A:  It is not possible to transfer second-shift production employees to the first shift, though that may be a good idea for future versions of the simulation.
