NATCA Going Down in Flames

Was acceptance of your dress code a condition of employment at the time your employees were hired? Doesn't matter, job requirements can change, within the limits of the law, at any time. |

"Stefan" wrote in message ... Bob Noel schrieb: Who cares what they wear? How about expecting the FAA "leaders" spend effort and time on things that matter? Controllers have very little interaction with "customers" expect via land-line or radio. Does the controller's attire matter even a little? And even *if* they had interaction with the public: Who cares how they are dressed? If they wish to work in a bathsuit and their hair coloured green and blue, so be it, as long as they are doing their job well. The only thing that is ridiculous in that story is that people are not free to dress as they wish. So much for the land of the free. It is the land of the free. If you don't like the rules you are free to seek employment elsewhere and might even be offered the opportunity to do so full time. Stefan |

And if the terms of their employment are changed _after_ they are hired, they are free to resist a new policy imposed upon them without their prior agreement. Nonsense. Employers can change job requirements at any time. |

"Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message nk.net... wrote in message oups.com... I am with Jay on this one, Years ago unions were a good thing to keep miners from getting killed in the workplace. Now the unions motive is to perpetuate their existance by working up supposable smart humans over something that should be a No brainer. If I remember right the adverage salary for a ATC worker this year was 72,500, with some raking in 171,300. For that pay they shouldn't even contest not being able to wear flip flops to work. What other profession can dress like that and earn that kind of cash, well other then Jimmy Buffet.???? Have you ever seen a controller dressed like that? I have and it was at a safety meeting. People left the meeting laughing at him and his unprofessional demeanor. He earned and received no credability. |

"Paul Tomblin" wrote in message ... In a previous article, none said: This is ridiculous that a union is opposed to casual attire (slack & collard shirts). I did not read suits. It's ridiculous that an employer thinks they can arbitrarily change the terms of employment without consulting the employees. FLASH, FLASH, FLASH....employers have that right. The work place is not a democracy. Sounds like NATCA needs to be Reaganed. It sounds like this country needs to remember that employees aren't slaves. -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ Considering the number of wheels Microsoft has found reason to invent, one never ceases to be baffled by the minuscule number whose shape even vaguely resembles a circle. -- [unknown] |

"Steven P. McNicoll" wrote: When I take a CAP squadron or Boy Scout Troop on a tower tour, I expect the controllers to look professional -- period. What does it say when we require the kids to be in uniform, but the controllers are wearing flip-flops and cut-off shorts? In what tower did you see controllers wearing flip-flops and cut-off shorts? I've been in three towers, two TRACONs and a Center, and I've never seen controllers wearing flip-flops or cut-off shorts. Jeans and T-shirts, yes. The FAA is out to make a point with this about who's got the power, IMO. It's got nothing to do with encouraging professionalism among controllers. -- Dan C172RG at BFM |

But controllers dressed like that were clearly the exception and the problem could have been remedied simply by banning cut-offs and flip-flops. What the impose instead can only have a negative effect. |

I've been an FPL controller in an ARTCC and a tower/TRACON and have visited probably a dozen other ATC facilities and never seen a controller dressed like that. |

To tell employees that a supervisor making a comment about dress constitutes a "meeting", well...that's why I'm glad we don't have unions at my particular part of the company. |
