In this work we present a flipped 331 model where this scheme is reversed: all three quark families are in the same representation and it is the lepton families which are discriminated by the gauge symmetry. We discuss fermion masses and mixing, as well as Z' interactions, in a minimal model implementing this idea. %K Beyond Standard Model %K Gauge Symmetry %K Neutrino Physics %R 10.1007/JHEP08(2016)003 %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1606.01109 %U https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP08(2016)003 %P 003-12pp
